Colorado is known for its scenery, both natural and manmade. Talented artists are changing the landscape of the Mile High City, and over forty of them were caught in the act at Artopia 2017. Curated by Jolt, they brought the street art of famed Denver strips — Federal, Larimer, Santa Fe and Colfax — into City Hall. All photos by Brandon Marshall.
