River North Art District

The RiNo Art District is a distinctive area of north Denver that is inclusive of the historical neighborhoods of Globeville, Elyria- Swansea, Five Points, and Cole. The district started as a grassroots movement by local artists that wanted to connect the arts organizations in the area. Today, RiNo is comprised of four organizations, the RiNo Art District nonprofit arm, registered neighborhood organization, and state-certified creative district), the RiNo BID (Business Improvement District), the RiNo GID (General Improvement District), and Keep RiNo Wild . Together, these organizations fund and support the area through advocacy, infrastructure improvements, artist support, community programming, business support, and events.

The River North Art District “where art is made” goes by the nickname of “RiNo” and has even adopted a rhino design for its official logo, so look for creative rhinos in art and signage all around the neighborhood! The district’s interesting blend of urban charm and unique industrial revival makes it a great destination for visitors. Historic warehouses and factories now house jazz bars, restaurants, brewpubs, art galleries, and working studios. RiNo boasts a diverse mix of creative businesses ranging from visual artists, designers, and furniture makers, to craft distillers and brewers, winemakers, creators of unique outdoor gear, and small-batch coffee roasters. The art definitely extends beyond gallery walls in this neighborhood, with its colorful and innovative street art murals in alleys and on buildings around almost every corner.

As a former industrial hub, the RiNo Art District is a part of the historic neighborhoods of Five Points, Cole, Globeville, and Elyria-Swansea in Denver, Colorado. During the turn of the last century, the area was home to foundries, pattern shops, and industrial uses that helped drive the economic success of Denver. As industry moved out of the city’s core in the late 80s and 90s, the corridor was left with several vacant warehouses and failing infrastructure. During this time artists began to populate the area as prices were very affordable and the area was fertile ground for arts, artists, and creatives. Environmental Bed Bug Exterminator Denver, Inc
