Located in downtown Rapid City, between 6th and 7th and Main and St. Joseph. Art alley consists of dumpsters, utility meters and the backs of the buildings on both sides covered in street Art and graffiti. This unique area was established in 2003, giving artists the freedom to express personal and political views through art. Its an outdoor gallery of a wide variety of styles and subject matter. Although some people are put off by the initial view of the alley, keep in mind, it is an alley that runs behind fully functioning businesses on both sides. The dumpters and utility meters are being utilized, but have been incorporated into the public art space. Permits must be obtained and certain rules do apply for artists to create here, but, the Permits are free and are fairly easy to obtain. This ensures a constant change to the Art on display.
I make a point to stroll Art alley every single time I am in the area. It truly is a work of art!
