About Us
About Us
Street Gallery 808 is an arts nonprofit dedicated to empowering Northern Colorado's unhoused and at-risk community through creative expression. By providing art supplies, mobile workshops, creative space, and exhibition opportunities, we support artists in rebuilding confidence, connection, and purpose. Our mission is to bridge the gap between people experiencing housing insecurity and the broader community, using art as a tool for healing, visibility, and personal transformation.
We offer fine art prints and selected merchandise featuring original work by SG808 artists. Every purchase directly supports participating artists and helps sustain free creative programming, outreach, and supply distribution across Weld County.
