Inspiration Alley

I love the concept of local artists displaying their artwork in the community. The parking is either street or in a nearby parking lot. Inspiration Alley is free and adjacent to local businesses. They keep this place clean with a couple of options for seating, including chairs shaped as a mask. I came on a sunny day and enjoyed the quiet and colorful atmosphere. There was another person there that I went, who was taking photos. They include a brief description of the artwork and the name of the artist which I enjoyed reading. I could imagine spending a couple of hours by yourself or with friends/family.

If you are in the area this is definitely a cute place to check out. The murals are beautiful and its quiet tucked away between buildings. However, if its out of your way its not a must see.

I stumbled across this wonderful "outdoor" art gallery after visiting the Leonard Bros. Museum across the street. Immediately, yours truly was awed and overjoyed with the beauty of the murals and installations. Honestly, I never knew this existed. Of course a lot of pictures were taken. Not sure if any of the murals change, but I'll definitely re-visit the area time and time again. Don't pass up this neat contribution to the art world.

Inspiration alley is just that - an alley of inspiration. There are beautiful, colorful murals located here which express great emotions or are just for fun. Every artwork is unique. It's a great Insta-worthy place. The alley has astroturf and a few rocking chairs. If you're entering from Carroll/Whitmore Street, you will go through a graveled area where there are a few seats that are artwork itself - they are huge white face mask-like pieces. Such a neat little spot!
