The project turned into a 'summer camp for artists' in Denver.

Upon walking into the dispensary, customers see an oil painting on the ceiling by Chelsea Lewinsky —"we wanted to make it like the Sistine Chapel, and she nailed it," Cabrera says — as well as a"virtual reality corner" for selfies and photos, an old gutted Macintosh computer filled with a Lego diorama, and a history of cannabis laws in the United States on the wall under a customer service desks.
"There's street art, there's fine art, and there's a lot of other stuff. These are all artists I've followed and been inspired by during my career," he says."Their response was great, too. For people who didn't get their own wall, we kind of just left it up to them and the homies.
"We've done murals before, but we wanted to do something different. The best part is, you don't have to be 21 to see a lot of the work that is outside of the dispensary," Folse says.again, Cabrera hopes the dispensary's installations will help sell artists' merchandise. The store has retail space set aside for T-shirts and other gear made by Spark creators, and he and Folse plan on having live-painting sessions at the store.
Although most of the art at Spark was completed in April, it's only"about 80 percent done," Cabrera says, and updates are always a possibility.
