RiNo Made Pop-Ups connect local artists with underutilized commercial spaces, transforming vacant storefronts, offices, and community spaces into temporary artist studios, exhibitions, and creative hubs. By partnering with property owners across the RiNo Art District, the program gives artists access to affordable space to create, experiment, and share their work while bringing new energy and activity to the neighborhood.
More than a temporary studio, RiNo Made Pop-Ups invest in the creative economy by supporting artists with workspace, visibility, and opportunities to connect with the public. Each residency invites visitors inside the creative process through open studios, exhibitions, and artist talks, offering a rare chance to experience artwork as it evolves and to meet the people making it.
Current Residency: One River North
This summer, RiNo Made Pop-Ups has transformed the ground floor of One River North into a shared working studio for eight multidisciplinary Denver artists. Throughout the residency, artists are creating new work, experimenting across disciplines, and building community while working side by side in a space not traditionally used for art.
The current residency features:
- Armando Geneyro – Documentary & street photography
- Emily Grace King – Encaustic monotype assemblies
- Sharifa Lafon – Time-based experimental media
- Adrian Raya – Painting & mural art
- Cyrena Rosati – Rock music & sculpture
- Regan Rosburg – Interdisciplinary & ecopsychology
- Eileen Roscina – Experimental film & photography
- Maki Teshima – Botanical dye textiles
