Oak Street Alley in Phoenix highlights local murals and annual festival
Summary
Oak Street Alley, on the outskirts of downtown Phoenix, features murals by local artists and an annual Oak Street Alley mural festival held each year since February 2018, program presenters said.
Oak Street Alley, on the outskirts of downtown Phoenix, is a compact block covered in murals and hosts an annual Oak Street Alley mural festival that has taken place every year since February 2018, a narrator on The Nevada Minute said.
The program described the alley as “a haven for local artists located in the outskirts of Downtown Phoenix,” noting that artists use fences and alley walls to showcase scenes from the city, its history and its people. The narrator said visitors can also find pop-culture-inspired pieces and vendors displaying their work during the festival.
According to the segment, the murals occupy the street and the two alleys between Oak Street and Cypress Street, with artists using “every inch of the fences to create their art.” The segment encouraged visitors to pay close attention to the narrow alleys between Oak and Cypress streets to see additional work.
The annual festival was described in the program as an event that “invites artists to create new mural art,” with vendors showing their work and community participation. No ticketing, funding, permitting details or organizer names were provided in the segment.
The program closed by recommending the site as “a true hidden gem in Phoenix,” inviting viewers to visit the murals and the festival. The segment did not specify dates for the next festival or contact information for organizers.
