Now that business is out of the way, let’s talk about Artopia. This year’s exciting theme is curated by none of than F4D’s friend, and Denver’s treasured artist, Jolt.

“Denver has been home to Hip Hop culture since shortly after it’s inception. Champion DJs and breakers that have contributed to the world wide culture hail from our City. The Mile High City has birthed generations of graffiti artists that are highly regarded throughout the international scene. Yet in it’s truest sense the culture still remains underground. In hopes of bringing some of Denver’s finest creative exports to the main stage and celebrating the immense amount of talent and culture that our city not only cultivated but attracts from all over the globe I present to you Artopia 2019, a celebration of decades of Hip Hop Arts and Culture.”

F4D Studio has covered Westword events since 2012. In that time, the crew has become quite familiar with many of the artists and musicians in the city. Also, the event has changed venues several times over the years, but has found a home at The Church night club for the past few years.
