KissFist Mural Fest is a mural festival centered on artists who are members of the deaf community.
The mission of the KissFist Mural Fest is threefold:
1) To celebrate deaf culture through the arts.
2) To pay mural artists a fair wage for their work.
3) To create a temporary ‘third space’ that is fun, family friendly, and accessible to people with disabilities.
The heart of this festival is COMMUNITY.

In the deaf community (and disability community in general) there is a painful history of isolation due to audism and ableism.
By creating a space that is accessible, welcoming, and free to attend, the KissFist Mural Fest is more than just a fun weekend: it is a joyful act of resistance.

We held our first ever KissFist Mural Fest in October 2025 at the RiNo ArtPark in Denver. Our 2026 Fest was held in NoBo Arts District, Boulder. It was a huge success and we are dedicated to continuing the festival in 2027, but cannot do that without fundraising.
Thank you for supporting deaf art and culture in Colorado!
