Art RiNo Festival is the centerpiece of the three-day Art RiNo festival, bringing a full day of live music, public art, artist-led experiences, local makers, food, and creative programming to RiNo ArtPark.

A new mural by Moe Gram will be part of the festival at RiNo ArtPark. Live mural painting continues beyond the park throughout the weekend, with tukeone, Emit, Mike Graves, Adden Joule, Chelsea Lewinski, and Patrick Kane McGregor creating a new mural at the Denver Central Market/Graffiti Gardens Alley and Larimer Street.

The festival's outdoor stage, curated by Tohbias Juniel, features live performances by dogtags, Amanda Hawkins, Brionne Aigné, Moon Honey, and the DJ Williams Band. Inside Truss House and throughout the park, artist-led experiences invite visitors to make, move, learn, and play.

Hollow Kelley will lead A Hand in Creation, an immersive theater workshop centered on creative expression. Cirque Gravizoides will offer partner acrobatics demonstrations and workshops, while Raw Groove will lead line dancing featuring country, R&B, soul, and popular dances.

Visitors can explore RiNo ArtPark's murals with the Denver Graffiti Tour, learn about the art and lore of the park with Hanimal, and watch JJ Bebout demonstrate the craft of neon glass bending. OddKnock Productions will roam the festival with improvisational performances, while Corey Garretson, performing as La-Di-Da-Di Claudius, will bring Shakespearean clowning and improvised sonnets to festival-goers.

The Denver Zine Library will host a zine-making station at the Bob Ragland Branch of the Denver Public Library, and a curated market of local artists and makers will feature handmade fiber art, ceramics, jewelry, paintings, prints, woodworking, botanical creations, metal sculpture, DIY craft kits, and more.

Food and beverages will be available for purchase throughout the festival from Javi Rey, Cubanaso, Cluckin' Hot Chicken, and Tokyo Tea Truck.

Inside the RiNo ArtPark Welcome Center & Gallery, visitors can view the Welcome Back exhibition and visit open artist studios throughout the festival.
