Scribes
Over the summer of 2025, Adams County Parks, Open Space & Cultural arts worked with renowned graffiti and teaching artists Jolt and CoCo of Guerilla Garden to create a large mural as part of the Adams County Public Works 58th Avenue Street Widening Project.
Jolt and CoCo conducted a 6-week intensive mural painting program with the Suncor Boys and Girls Club Keystone Leadership Program located in Commerce City, ultimately leading to public artwork reflecting of the hopes and dreams of the students who participated. Students learned about the rich history of street art, spray painting techniques, and even visited the mural site to assist with the painting.
Documentary film maker Freddie Gluck embedded himself into this project to capture the larger story of street art in Adams County. The resulting film, SCRIBES, captures beautiful imagery of the often overlooked areas of our county and explores how artists grow and develop in those settings.
Directors Statement
I approached the making of this film with an open mind, interested to learn about a place, an art form, and a community. What I discovered most was how passion, combined with art, can shape both people and place. The process reminded me that documentary filmmaking opens its arms to those willing to observe and listen. Through Scribes, I have developed a deep appreciation for graffiti as a language and been reminded that beauty often exists in what we have yet to understand.
