The
Colorado Crush whirlwind came and went, leaving beautiful art in its path. The annual event painted more walls in River North than ever before, spanning ten blocks and solidifying the RiNo Art District as a leader in the urban arts scene — not just in this state, but in the country. Among the eighty artists who painted during this year's Crush were Max Sansing, Dulk, Kwue Molly, Koko Bayer, Robin Munro, Casey Kawaguchi, Luis Valle, Anthony Garcia, Michael Ortiz, Shalak, Smoky, Boy Kong, Jose Mertz, Woes, Joseph Martinez, Patrick Kane McGreggor, Chris Haven, Koko Bayer, Mpek, Jake Merten, Jher, Delton Demarest, Ben Chase Thompson, Thomas Evans, Joshua Mays, Mike Graves, Scribe and many more.
