Chelsea Ritter-Soronen is the founder and CEO of Chalk Riot, a women-led mural business based in Washington, D.C., that specializes in ground-based public art. Under her leadership, Chalk Riot has painted hundreds of impactful murals across the U.S. and in five countries, using bright, bold color to spark civic pride, inspire action, and make public spaces safer. Chelsea’s work champions equity in the arts—empowering women and non-binary artists in a field still dominated by men. Through large-scale projects and grassroots training programs like the “Chalk Your Voice” toolkit, she brings creativity, visibility, and leadership to streets and sidewalks nationwide.
