What do a New York graffiti legend, a Detroit muralist of national acclaim, and a Denver-based artist-activist have in common? They’re all reclaiming space and rewriting history—one wall at a time.

Justice of the Piece at the Galleries of Contemporary Art in Colorado Springs is more than just an exhibition. It’s a bold, visual conversation between three transformative artists—Lady Pink, Sydney G. James, and Grow Love—whose work turns street art into a call for justice, healing, and change. From epic portraits that honor Black women to vibrant blooms bursting with protest, these murals don’t just decorate—they demand attention. Experience their stories in color, scale, and motion now through October 4. Plan your visit at entarts.org/gallery
