In this episode, Ryan sits down with Susan from Hell Yeah Denver to explore how she supports and elevates local artists in the Mile High City. From connecting artists to businesses and helping them secure grants, to sharing the best local food spots, Susan offers a unique blend of art, entrepreneurship, and Denver culture. Tune in to discover why “If it’s not a hell yeah, it’s a no!”


5 Takeaways

  1. Why “Hell Yeah”:
    Susan’s guiding principle is to take on only the projects that truly excite her—if it’s not a “hell yeah,” it’s a no. This mentality shapes her company’s name and mission.

  2. Business Model That Puts Artists First:
    Susan focuses on securing funding from businesses rather than relying on artists’ pockets. This approach allows creators to focus on their art while she manages the business side.

  3. Non-Traditional Art Spaces:
    From car dealerships to salons, Susan partners with businesses that want to feature and support local art, creating fresh opportunities for artists to showcase their work.

  4. Community & Connection:
    Denver’s art scene is thriving in areas like RiNo, Santa Fe, 40 West, Englewood, and more. By acting as a connector, Susan helps artists tap into these communities and resources.

  5. Support Local:
    Purchasing original pieces directly from local artists fosters creativity, keeps Denver’s art community vibrant, and often comes at a surprisingly affordable price point.
