No Vacancy Art Residency by Johnny Draco in Denver
No Vacancy Art Residency
As part of the No Vacancy residency with RiNo Arts District in Denver, Johnny Draco transformed an abandoned room into a fully immersive mural experience. Covering every surface except the ceiling, Draco’s bold, graphic style redefined the space, blurring the lines between walls, floors, and fixtures. The mural’s striking use of color and form brought new life to the forgotten architecture, creating a surreal environment where art and space became one. By embracing the building’s raw history while injecting his signature aesthetic, Draco’s work at No Vacancy stood as a testament to transformation—turning vacancy into vibrancy, abandonment into activation.
