Exploring Graffiti Aisle in Ann arbor Michigan. #Graffiti #Art
#Graffiti #Art #Annarbor
Travel with me and Michigander man as we tour the famous Graffiti Aisle in Ann Arbor Michigan and checkout some street art.
In an unassuming corner in downtown Ann Arbor, there is a work of art tucked away in a mundane alleyway. Off of East Liberty Street, down an alley next to the Michigan Theater, numerous artists have collaborated to create a wall to wall graffiti masterpiece. Graffiti Alley, as it’s known to locals, has been a mainstay of Ann Arbor street art for the past 20 years. While Graffiti Alley is now a hub for all artists to explore their creativity, it wasn’t always this way.
During the years leading up to the creation of Graffiti Alley, this area of Ann Arbor was widely considered to be ‘undesirable’ to the general public. In some sort of attempt to increase the appeal of this area to the masses, in 1999 the city of Ann Arbor commissioned the original mural in Graffiti Alley to ‘beautify’ the space. Artist Katherine Cost’s original piece, Infinite, took 5 months to complete and covered over 5,000 square feet of alleyway.

Infinite featured beautiful columns and archways with flowers sprouting amongst the architectural pieces. The mural was beautiful, yet it didn’t quite capture the uniqueness of the culture and overall art scene that had been previously established in the area. The art community had been thriving here long before the mural was ever commissioned. Within a few months this ultimately lead to local graffiti artists ‘defacing’ the mural and quickly painting over the original art piece.
While it may have simply started off as petty vandalism, after the first instance of graffiti the alley soon became covered in graffiti. As the original mural slowly became covered by ever increasing amounts of graffiti, the East Liberty Street alleyway began to take on a life of its’ own.
Graffiti Alley Today
graffiti alley Ann arbor michigan-2.png
After the first spray, Graffiti Alley became a living piece of art. Curated by the people of Ann Arbor, the alley reflects the inner heart, soul, and spirit of Ann Arbor. In this entirely unique space, the graffiti is able to ebb and flow with the changing atmosphere of the area. In an ever-changing social landscape, Graffiti Alley is a sanctuary for artists to explore their creativity and express their individual perspective. Stories that otherwise may not have been told have found a way to reach new audiences. The experiences of the city’s most marginalized and overlooked populations are able to dictate their own narrative, with their own art in a space that truly belongs to the people of Ann Arbor.

    Nice Chinese restaurant to your left around the corner.Nice people.Thanks for this information. There was another theater further down on Cedar St.At the bend in the road there is a large parking lot and strip mall as your heading north on the right. I remember seeing Star Wars there in one of the now abandoned stores around 1977 or 78. We also saw the begginning of Tora,Tora,Tora. I say beginning because about 5 minutes into the film they shut it off and said there were not enough people attending so we would have to come back at a later time ! (how cringe!)

    That one spot you were at is the corner of Baker and Cedar streets and that's where they manufactured civilian and military Diamond Reo and White trucks. That plant ran from Baker about 1000 feet north to a set of railroad tracks and east to west from Washington to Cedar streets. The remainder of that plant was tore down in the early 80's after a fire destroyed a lot of it.
