Since 2014, Dateline has existed at the intersection of the underground art world and the formal gallery setting. Dateline co-founder Jeromie Dorrance is the conduit for DIY makers and experimenters who come through the space, and artist-curated shows have put works by the likes of Molly Bounds, Phil Bender, Julio Alejandro, Mark Fitzsimmons and more on the walls. That underground connection also allows Dateline to create context for Denver's larger art world, as when 2018's This Is It, a group show curated by Lorenzo Talcott, brought some of Denver's biggest graffiti players into the gallery while the Crush Walls street-art exhibition was taking place right outside. In clearly valuing homegrown art and artists, Dateline gives prominence to the non-critical space to which "local" art was once relegated.
