Art Alley, Rapid City, South Dakota - Art Or Graffiti?

Welcome to Art Alley!
It is located in "Old Town" Rapid City, South Dakota.
Graffiti was becoming a problem in Rapid City.  These photos show how that city creatively solved their problem.

They set aside a little used alley, between two busy downtown streets, for the use of any artist who wanted to use it.










What was once drab and boring, is now colorful, eye-catching and an interesting way to spend an hour or so.



Some of the work looks promising, while other parts just look like graffiti, but what a great way to let people express themselves without defacing the property that belongs to others!
