Boulder, CO – May 15, 2023 – The NoBo Bustop Gallery is set to kick off Pride Month with the debut

of /Imagine Love, an art exhibit showcasing the vibrant and inclusive work of artist Koko

Bayer. The exhibit, located in Boulder’s NoBo Art District, opens on June 2nd with a reception

from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., featuring a set by DJ Paul Andre.

Koko Bayer, the creative force behind the Rainbow Heart Project and Project Spread Hope,

responded to the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic with murals featuring hearts inscribed

with the words “Hope” and “Love.” Since their inception, hundreds of these murals have been

installed in public spaces, such as schools, hospitals, and shelters, serving as a reminder of

hope and the enduring need for love, even in the darkest of times.

Bayer’s work extends to aiding communities in healing after natural disasters and mass

shootings. In December, she installed #MIA1, a 24×32 foot Rainbow Love mural dedicated to

the victims of the Club Q mass shooting as part of the Wynwood Mural Fest during Art Basel

Miami. Her 2023 installations have ranged from billboards in a prairie dog town in Louisville,

Colorado, to a multi-wall activation in London.

/Imagine Love will feature a Rainbow Heart Project mural and new editions of Bayer’s hand-folded shadow box prints and multiples.
