Join us in celebrating the 18th mural of the Alley Art Project with artist Devan Shimoyama! This 50th anniversary Rockwell Museum mural highlights how students are actively engaged in telling stories from their own perspectives and amplifying voices that might otherwise be overlooked. By incorporating personal experiences and symbolism into the collaborative mural, the project reframes viewpoints and invites viewers to see familiar themes in fresh, meaningful ways. Witness the unveiling of the mural, meet the student artists and designers, and check out the latest mural up close.
The Rockwell Museum, in collaboration with the High School Learning Center (HSLC) of the Corning-Painted Post Area School District and the Southeast Steuben County Library (SSCL) worked with artist Devan Shimoyama to design the latest Alley Art Project mural. The 2026 mural celebrates and uplifts individuals who have meaningfully influenced students’ lives. Inspired by Shimoyama’s work in the Museum’ Permanent Collection–February (2022) hoodie and Le Mat (The Fool) (2022) self-portrait–the mural features a vibrant wave of symbolic flowers, representing the people students are honoring.
The 2026 Alley Art Project is supported in part by the National Endowment for the Arts, The Triangle Fund, and the Community Foundation of Elmira-Corning and the Finger Lakes, Inc.
