Dale Redpath, a native of Minneapolis, Minnesota, was encouraged early on by her teachers and parents to pursue her interest in art. She often visited and took classes at the Minneapolis Institute of Art the museums paintings had a great influence on her growing dream of becoming a painter. In 1977, Dale entered the ‘Atelier Lack Studio Program of Fine Art’ as a full time student. There, Dale found in the program’s classic instruction the experience she needed to start creating her own studio work. Teaching evening classes at Atelier Lack became an excellent preparation for an invitation to instruct full time students with Richard Lack. |
On his retirement in 1992, Dale and Cyd Wicker, both instructors, continued on as co-directors of the program now named and moved to it’s current location in Northeast Minneapolis in 1994. |
