Live mural painting in the alley alley behind Denver Central Market and the large wall adjacent to Shepard Fairey's mural throughout the Art RiNo festival weekend.
Led by Denver muralist tukeone, the three-day Mural Jam brings together six collaborating artists to create a new mural project live over the course of October 2–4. Visitors can drop in throughout the weekend to watch the artists work and see the mural take shape.
The Mural Jam is a free, drop-in activation and part of the district-wide Art RiNo festival. On Sunday afternoon, following Beers Made By Walking, the artists will also host a DJ performance at the mural site.
The participating artists bring distinct backgrounds and approaches to muralism, graffiti, illustration, portraiture, sculpture, and design:

tukeone is a Denver-based muralist whose work has adorned walls in Denver and around the world since the early 1990s. His imaginative work draws inspiration from nature and the world around him, combined with street art aesthetics.

Chelsea Lewinski is a Denver multidisciplinary artist, muralist, tattoo artist, and designer known for bold portraiture and emotionally driven visual storytelling exploring identity, resilience, culture, and the human experience.

Patrick Kane McGregor began his artistic practice through graffiti in the early 1990s and spent 25 years in outdoor advertising, developing expertise in large-scale painting, color, anatomy, and detailed portraiture. His current work often features vibrant, larger-than-life animals.

Mike Graves is a Denver-based artist specializing in whimsical character-based paintings, illustrations, and murals. His work has appeared across the United States and internationally, with a focus on bringing joy and humor to everyday spaces.

Adden Joule is a Denver-based muralist, sculptor, and jeweler whose work can be found throughout the United States and internationally. He is also the founder of Project Street Gold, a jewelry and sculpture brand creating limited-edition cast metal works in collaboration with muralists and graffiti writers.

Emit began his artistic journey in the New York graffiti scene in 1989, developing a style defined by clean lines, precision, grit, and texture. His work spans graffiti, graphic design, digital art, and nature murals that blend the energy of street art with the organic beauty of natural landscapes.
This activation is part of Art RiNo, a three-day festival produced by the RiNo Art District featuring art, music, food, creative experiences, and community programming throughout the district. See the full Art RiNo festival lineup for more weekend events, including a Moe Gram mural dedication at 12:45 on Saturday, October 3.
