DENVER — The Downtown Denver Partnership recently announced an expanded phase two of its PopUp Denver program, which gives financial assistance and coaching to local entrepreneurs willing to occupy currently vacant store fronts along 16th Street Mall. As the DDP and the city work to restore the downtown area to pre-pandemic traffic levels, they believe that shouldering some of the big costs will be the key to encouraging more businesses to come in.
One of those who decided to leave at the end of the free rent period was Silas “Jolt” Ulibarri, owner of Gallery 16 art studio. Jolt is well known in the community for his amazing murals, and said he was excited to set up shop in such an iconic Denver location. “It’s a challenge just having a small business, period,” he said. “This was, you know, a very great opportunity. It was cool. But then you have other things that are working against it. You’ve got crime out here on the mall that needs to be dealt with… The gallery business is a hard business to be in.”
