CRUSH WALLS
has grown to become Colorado’s largest urban art event. Showcasing
local and international talent, it has been bringing art out of the
galleries and into the streets from its very inception, reaching a
pinnacle of 80+ public art murals last year.
Rooted in the ethos of the RiNo Art District
—‘where art is made’—the Denver festival has been both a platform for
creative expression and a catalyst for awesome collective gatherings.
Each succeeding edition has increased the festival’s pulling power,
attracting actors from the global artistic community and driving locals
and visitors alike around the expanding urban art movement.
