Mission Statement
Street Wise Arts is a 501c3 nonprofit arts organization based in Boulder, CO. Our mission is to create community art, mural projects, and youth empowerment initiatives. We aim to enhance the creative landscape, amplify cultural diversity and engage in social advocacy, justice and dialogue. Our core values are advocating for equity and representation for artists, working in cross sector collaborations and contributing to a unique cultural landscape.
About This Cause
Mural Festivals The Street Wise Mural Festival explores the intersection of art and activism through the installation of murals and public art, encouraging conversations around social justice and community resilience. We spotlight womxn, BIPOC, LGBTQIA, and emerging artists based in Colorado and beyond. Community Projects We facilitate commission-based Community Projects that connect artists and local communities, organizations, or businesses. Each public art project amplifies community goals, culture, and/or social initiatives while empowering and employing artists. Often these projects include elements of neighborhood or community engagement, education, workshops, and community events. Each results in a public art project that connects, inspires, and reflects the community. Youth Programs & Education Street Wise Youth Programs aim to foster the next generation of artists, activists, and community leaders. Using a framework of artist mentorship to facilitate student work in public spaces, students explore awareness of social issues and how to use street art as a platform while building community, collaboration, and mutual respect. Mural Tours Come explore the street art of Boulder. We offer guided walking, biking, and private tours led by a Street Wise docent. These tours tell the stories behind the artists, social themes, and local community and highlight other organizations and artists through collaborative performances and activations.
