• [051] Century Square Mural | approx. 1,400 sq ft Aurora, CO | done with spray paint and some magic… there is something about painting murals that has opened a new creative outlet and now all I want to do is paint more. Thanks to for making this happen. I feel like I am starting over in a new creative industry and I am stoked to see where this goes. If you need a wall scribbled on…let’s make it happen.

The owners of Century Square seek to commission an artist or team of artists to create an original public mural for the Colfax Ave & Havana Street facing building at 10498 E Colfax Ave, Aurora, CO 80010.

The building representative has identified one outdoor location for the allocated total budget of approximately $8,500.00 USD (includes rentals, paint, and supplies).

Up to four (4) artists/teams will be selected as finalists. Those selected will receive more specific information regarding the site and the project. The finalists will receive an honorarium of $250.00 USD to prepare the proposal and present it in person or virtually.

The selection panel will review the proposals, interview the finalists, and select an artist/team for the commission.
