A Denver-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to public muralism, street art programming, youth arts education, and hip-hop culture.
About the organization
Colorado Street Art Company began in 2011 as a grassroots documentation project in Denver’s graffiti and street art scene and was incorporated as a 501(c)(3) in 2016. The organization handles the coordination, logistics, and community relationships that let artists focus on the work: site negotiation, agreements, permits, insurance, and paint.
Relationships in the graffiti and hip-hop communities go back fifteen-plus years, so artists trust the organization; contracts, permits, and compliance are handled at a professional level, so property owners, funders, and the city trust it too. Every mural, event, and workshop is built around one idea: the people who make the culture should benefit from it. Artists get paid.
“Capturing Denver’s mural and street art scene one post at a time, documenting the artists, the walls, and the culture that make this city’s public spaces worth looking at.”

Founder & Executive Director · President / Secretary
Raised in Colorado Springs, Adam got into Denver’s graffiti and street art scene around 2011, camera in hand, going to jams and building relationships with writers and muralists he still leans on today. Seeing incredible artists without the infrastructure to support them, he founded Colorado Street Art Company in 2016 as a 501(c)(3) dedicated to public muralism, youth arts education, and hip-hop culture.
He has built the nonprofit while working a full-time career in government administration, bringing permits, compliance, contracts, budgets, and boards to an organization with street-level credibility. A working muralist, he has produced and curated public art across Denver including the Kendrick Castillo memorial wall and the Grizzly Bear mural at Ritual Social House, and co-created Hip-Hop Summit Denver with Jarred De Palo and BJ Quarles.
