Ashley Joon's mural at Crush Walls 2020.
If you've not been to the RiNo Art District in the past week, you might not recognize it. Once again, the smell of spray paint is in the air as Crush Walls takes over the alleys and streets through September 20. In the mix this year are artists Thomas "Detour" Evans, Ashley Joon, Alicia Cardenas, Jolt and many more. For more on Crush Walls and Denver's growing street art and mural scene, read "Murals Are Hot in Denver, but Is Cultural History Taking a Hit?"
