Description: Black Cat Alley is a vibrant and colorful outdoor art gallery located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It is a community-driven mural project that has transformed an alleyway into an urban art destination. The alley features a diverse collection of murals and street art created by both local and national artists. The project was initiated in 2016 by the East Side Business Improvement District and Wallpapered City, an organization that fosters public art projects. The goal was to revitalize the alley and turn it into a dynamic and engaging space for residents and visitors to enjoy. The name "Black Cat Alley" is derived from a black cat mural that was one of the first pieces painted in the alley. Since then, the space has grown to include numerous murals, graffiti art, and street art installations, each contributing to the alley's unique and ever-changing character. The artworks in Black Cat Alley cover a wide range of styles, themes, and subject matters, reflecting the creativity and artistic expression of the contributing artists. The project has become a popular spot for street art enthusiasts, photographers, and anyone looking to experience the vibrant art scene of Milwaukee. Black Cat Alley is free and open to the public, and visitors are encouraged to explore the alley and admire the artworks at their own pace. The murals and art installations continue to evolve over time as new artists contribute to the ever-expanding gallery.
