Check out the 10th and Osage Mural

 

KWGN covers a story on the Denver Mural

(July 31, 2010)
Dozen of kids gave back to their community Saturday by painting a giant mural near 13th Avenue and Osage Street. The Gang Rescue and Support Project organized the event and hopes the mural is a positive way for youth to show off their creativity.
 
Thanks to Johnny Santos and GRASP for  the 100 foot mural near the light rail station on 10th and Osage.  Arts Street facilitated and supported GRASP's Peace Mural Project that celebrates local Denver culture as well as Colorado and the Nation.
