The Alley Art Festival is reinventing the alleys of Downtown Sioux City on Saturday, September 20 with BRAND NEW MURALS, ART VENDORS, LIVE MUSIC, KIDS ACTIVITIES, & MORE! This open-air art experience invites YOU to get involved:
BRAND NEW MURALS
Explore Sioux City’s largest refreshed outdoor gallery of 140+ murals with 29 NEW MURALS this year!
Murals are created by local and regional artists selected through an application process. Their creative work has turned a previously unconventional alley way into Sioux City's most unique outdoor art experience.
Participating muralists have a chance to receive Best of Show, 2nd, 3rd, Honorable Mention, People’s Choice, and Vangarde Board Award awarding more than $3,000 in prizes!
While you wander the wonders of the alleys, remember to vote for your favorite mural to win the People's Choice Award!
ART VENDORS
Add a new creation or three to your collection while browsing original artwork from nearly 30 regional art vendors on 5th Street!
LIVE MUSIC - Headlining the Fourth Street Stage is Chicago Blues Legend STUDEBAKER JOHN & THE HAWKS joined by a growing list of area acts: the Dojo Saints, the Gutter Collective, Banana Cramps and more!
FAMILY ACTIVITIES - The fun doesn’t stop there! September 20 will be full of lively creative activities for the young and young at heart. Kids can head to the kids zone & get creative with a variety of FREE activities!
Create your very own tambourine, sidewalk murals, and everyone can add a creative flare to the festival community mural!
