After receiving several requests from you, our readers, for recommendations on how to find the coolest street art in Denver, it became clear to us that Denverites have an appetite for art that can be enjoyed in a safe, socially-distanced way. That's why every Friday, we'll be dropping a walking, driving or biking tour of Denver's street art, each curated by a different prominent local muralist.
This week's curator is Alexandrea Pangburn, a Colorado-based street artist who specializes in hyper-realistic depictions of animals. Originally from Kentucky, Pangburn moved to Golden in 2017. As she immersed herself in RiNo's street art scene, she came to recognize a need for a safe, inclusive space for women street artists, and founded the Babe Walls Festival to be that space. Now, Babe Walls operates as both a collective and a celebration of female and non-binary artists.
This year's Babe Walls Festival will take place in Westminster next weekend. Until then, check out Pangburn's favorite murals around town.
