Year two was huge for Colfax Canvas! In an effort to create a fair and non-biased artist selection process, Colfax Canvas established an Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Access Committee to create our Muralist Application, Selection Rubric, and establish Colfax Canvas as a collaborative mural festival. We also launched our Block Party with the help of our partners at Bonfire Event Co.

2020
In our inaugural year, we set forward with the goal to visually define the Aurora Cultural Arts District. Any sponsorship dollar we could collect would be given to local muralists who believed in our mission. Between driving tours paired with our audio tour and socially distanced walking tours, we were able to ensure the first year of Colfax Canvas Mural Fest was a safe and comfortable experience for all.
