We founded Denver’s Storefront Initiative in 2009 as a major step in the revival of Denver’s historic but underutilized mixed-use neighborhoods following the economic recession. By installing vibrant graphics with educational messages on the role of design in the community, we empowered recovering neighborhoods and made historic commercial streets safer.
