One of the fascinations with Art Alley is that it keeps changing. You art gets painted over and you paint over other peoples work. Your work falls down and the remains get used in another work. The thing that I loved about trains was how they were always moving. Art Alley is similar in the fact that it is always changing.
This creative space was quite controversial my senior year of highs school. The city ended up taking control. It was no longer the same community ran space as it was before. There were some sad aspects to the city's new control. But some of the positives included paving the road, having concerts, a free place to display positive artwork, and a community that is heavily influenced by art that is changing on a daily basis.
