Summer Review

This summer was incredibly busy for the Art Alley Guild.  We had our hands in so many different projects, not just in Art Alley, but throughout the region.

• We performed live paint demo's at Chaos Makers Fair, Culture Shock Festival, Community College Park Block Party.
• We were part of the Rapid City Convention and Visitors Bureau's Denver street team, creating a mural live at the Denver Zoo, and Art Alley was featured on the JumboTron at the Colorado Rockies baseball game.
• We helped create art in tiger and bear cages at the Spirit of the Black Hills animal sanctuary.
• We performed a large scale clean up day with the United Way.
• We helped Feeding South Dakota install children's advocacy-inspired art.
• We invited the community out for our monthly Open Paint Sessions.
• We hosted several Art Alley Guild meetings, and the group grew more than past years.
• We helped host the Rapid City leg of the Cheyenne River Youth Project's "RedCan Jam", South Dakota's first major graffiti jam with nationally renowned artists.
  
• Art Alley was featured in numerous blogs and articles, featured as one of the 21 most colorful city's in the world, and featured on Yahoo and Yahoo Travel's Instagram accounts.

We truly did everything we could to put our best foot forward in the community this year.
