About Us

TRANSFORMING SPACES ONE STROKE AT A TIME

At 5280 Wall Art, we bring walls and windows to life across the Denver metro area. From seasonal storefront displays to custom outdoor murals, our work turns everyday spaces into visual stories that spark joy, connection, and curiosity.

Founded by Melanie Schambach, a Denver-based social artist with over two decades of experience in community and participatory art, 5280 Wall Art blends fine art craftsmanship with local storytelling. Each piece is designed to celebrate the unique character of your business, home, or event. Whether it’s a cozy café window, a large-scale mural, or a holiday temporary paint dispplay, we make people stop and smile.

New Trend!!
Temporary Window Displays

  • Be the store that stands out.

  • Set the mood. 

Starting at $400 | Ask about seasonal rotation discounts.

  • All the artwork is created by hand, using brushes, rollers, and sponges. We do not work with Spray Paint.

  • For untreated walls, new walls, and lighting features, our construction experts at our sister company, Black Rhino Construction, are ready to handle any related preparation or structural needs.

  • We use high-quality materials sourced locally.

  • We offer a free consultation. A deposit is required for preliminary sketches or samples. No commitment to the art project is needed for sketch requests.

  • We are enthusiastic to collaborate on your wall art design. Your participation in the creative process can be tailored to your preference.

  • We excel in diverse mural styles, assuring alignment with approved digital designs.

  • We offer services that engage groups of people in the creative process. No skills are required! Visit our wide variety of services.

As an academic let me make clear that the value of the community experience in the process of collective art production cannot be measured. I see the huge benefits of this process of art co-creation for people in academia and beyond.
