The Red Bull House of Art is a gallery and residential program that supports local artists from Detroit. This program began last year and is located on 1551 Winder, Detroit, Michigan. What it does is it gives eight selected artists studio space to live and work in for several months, giving them the freedom to create whatever they want with the resources and encouragement. The director and creator of Red Bull House of Art, Matt Eaton said, "The mission here is to give people wings. It's not a matter of finding the coolest artists. It's a matter of finding the most passionate artists with the most to lose if they take any risks, and giving them an opportunity to really take risks." When the session ends there is a gallery viewing open to the public, where people come to view the works of art, listen to great music, socialize, get inspired, and have fun.
I just recently found out about this place so I haven't gotten a chance to go to a gallery viewing yet. However, just researching about this gallery and program I am really intrigued by it and I am excited to check it out.
