Who we are

We come from the culture.
We run a tight ship.

Founder Adam Clark got into Denver’s graffiti and street art scene in 2011, camera in hand, going to jams and building relationships he still leans on today. Denver had incredible artists and a deep culture, but not much infrastructure connecting walls that needed painting, kids who wanted to learn, and artists who deserved to get paid. In 2016 that work became Colorado Street Art Company, a 501(c)(3).

Fifteen years of relationships mean artists trust us. Contracts, permits, insurance, and compliance handled at a professional level mean property owners, funders, and the city trust us too. That combination lets us take on projects others can’t.

Artists get paid for their work through us. Exposure doesn’t cover rent.
