In February of 2018, the Redux Contemporary Art Center repurposed an underutilized space and started a new initiative to encourage and inspire their artists: Gallery 1056.
Gallery 1056 presents the work of one or more Redux Studio Artists, and is curated by their fellow Redux Studio Artists. Redux’s Executive Director, Cara Leepson, describes the gallery as a “pay-it-forward” model that encourages artists to “support each artist’s personal artistic vision, while also providing a supportive atmosphere for collaboration between neighbors.” The goal is to maximize everyone’s creative output by letting artists inspire each other.
