About the Exhibition
“Live Wires.” Artist: Bisco Smith
Making Our Mark honors and acknowledges that for many artists, street art, murals, and graffiti art functions as their first exposure to the fine arts.
Though the genre emerged and is experienced beyond the confines of museums, institutions and galleries, street art continues to claim a space that is accessible and inspiring to all.
On display September 23-November 3, 2023.
About DENVER WALLS 2023
DENVER WALLS seeks to create an annual event that brings high-impact art to the Denver community.
We want to build a program that puts our city on the map as the next major Art Mecca of the United States and eventually of the world. We aim to take a future-thinking approach to street art, bridging the gap between art and technology while supporting, uplifting, and educating our local community.
DENVER WALLS 2023 will be woman and immigrant-owned with local artist Ally Grimm (A.L. Grime) spearheading the project. She aims to bring her passion for arts, technology, and equality to the project to reimagine the possibilities for Street Art in our city.
