Outside-the-Line Collective is a group of artists assembled by Steve Purtee in 2013. Working as a scenic artist, Steve had the privilege of meeting and working with a large group of talented artists in the field of theatre and film. It was the cooperative spirit of working together on projects in theatre and film that inspired Steve to try channeling this spirit into a fine arts oriented project. As scenic artists, it is essential to set aside one's personal expression in service to the designer who's vision drives the look. In fine art it is the personal expression of one's own vision that becomes the key. It is by combining this cooperative spirit with individual expression that leads to paintings raising the issue of the relative nature of our perception.
The artists in the collective come from a mix of fine art as well as theatrical background. Some members exhibit their own work as well as with the Collective.
Recent Broadway shows members have worked on, individually or together, include Something Rotten, Jersey Boys, Kinky Boots, Book of Mormon, Fiddler on the Roof, Phantom of the Opera, Once, Beautiful, Mary Poppins, Shrek the Musical, Cinderella, The King and I, Matilda and many more.
