This made my trip to Rapid City well worth it. I will add photos later, but imagine in the best artists and graffiti artists were allowed to paint on walls and alley items like trash cans, fire escapes, gas and electric meters and you could walk down and see their work for free?
For an entire block you see words and paintings of welcome and protest. Reminders of MLK's speeches, desires for peace and love, reminders of the suffering that has happened in our country, line the entire alley, and you are free to take photos as much as you want. There are memorial pieces, cartoons, animation, graffiti, gorgeous!!!
It made we wonder why we don't allow this to happen in areas of every city. It was powerful and meaningful. The human capacity to be creative constantly amazes and delights me.
Bring your camera because something will grab your eye and you'll wish you could keep a shot of it. -

Art Alley is a great place to get many different looks into the minds of local artists and many want to be artists! We enjoy looking at all the different drawings, from amateur to some really nice drawings. This was a great idea and I even took my mother in law there when they visited.
It is worth a look! -

Anyone from out of town or just visiting rapid city, this place to be added to everyone's day planner because this place is a good find.
Trust me you would want to take lots of pictures of what i call it "innocent graffiti " this place ain't the ghetto no tags, no explicits, just cool art.
Its a cool block to walkin too, strolling, looking at many artist that put in work here. You will see murals of some of looney toon characters, homer simpson, elmo, aliens, etc. lots of colors!
Art alley is worth a visit, especially that your in the middle of buffalo country add this to your itinerary :) -

A really cool and random find. We were just wandering the streets taking it all in and saw this alley full of life and emotion on a quiet and dark evening. Its a must stop.

So much more than "just" a graffiti wall, Art Alley is a vibrant universe of color and art. Quotations, portraits, cartoons, canvases, and sculpture meld together in a sea of color. This must be what it feels like to step inside a painting.

Free, cool, good grafitti. Someone seems to have written the entire Tao Te Ching in this alley. We also spotted Wakko and Dot.

This is a cool place IF you catch it at the right time. I've been down there a few times and the first time it was just awesome! There was great artwork everywhere!! But everytime I've been down since then it has been mostly graffiti looking junk, and not art. :(
