For those driving, Denver is well-served by major motorways including I-25 running north-south and I-70 running east-west. These provide good access from all directions. Parking availability will vary by workshop location, but public car parks are generally present in central and art district areas. For groups arriving by coach, drop-off points and sometimes dedicated parking can be arranged depending on the venue. Denver International Airport (DIA) is the primary airport, located northeast of the city centre, with rail and bus connections into downtown.

Denver's street art character
Denver has a genuine and growing appreciation for public art and murals, particularly visible in designated areas. While not historically famous solely for graffiti, the city has actively embraced street art as part of its urban aesthetic, especially in the RiNo Art District. This area, once an industrial zone, has transformed into a vibrant hub where walls serve as canvases for local and international artists. The district hosts events like CRUSH Walls, which further solidifies its reputation as a street art destination.
Beyond RiNo, you can find various public art installations and murals scattered throughout other neighbourhoods, reflecting Denver's commitment to enriching its public spaces. This environment provides a fantastic context for our workshops, allowing participants to see how street art contributes to the city's unique character and cultural identity.
