Alley Art Amazin'

Do you want to spruce up your alley-facing outbuilding or fence? Are you tired of having your alley walls graffitied?

Well, here's our solution--LOTA's new Alley Art Amazin' program!

Marissa Perry Saints, an Old Town resident and artist, created Lafayette's first official Alley Art on her garage door. Check it out in person at 205 W. Emma St.! Together, Marissa and John Weise, another Old Town resident, will be coordinating this program.

Marissa created a slide show about her mural project (see photos at left) that you can watch here:
