A night of live music, arts and downtown exploration in two intersecting alley ways.

Spring 2016

We set our eyes on two intersecting alleys located downtown between Avenues J & K and began researching and documenting the site, throughout the semester. After receiving the city's approval for an event we began seeking out artists, musicians, food trucks, and sponsors to help bring these alleys to life. We thank Sigma Omicron Chi at Texas Tech University, as they were big contributors in the clearing of the alleys. After all the help from friends and supporters, we were finally ready for an event that we called Project Alley. On the morning of the event, April 1st, a rogue storm brought inches of rain, strong winds funneling through the alleyways, and even snow fall. Our team and artists where out there removing standing water to get the alleyways back in their former red glory. Miraculously, the final rain clouds would begin to part just in time for the event.
