Freak Alley Gallery

The biggest open-air, multi-artist mural gallery in the Pacific Northwest is called Freak Alley Gallery (F.A.G.). It is situated in Downtown Boise between 8th and 9th streets between Bannock and Idaho. Colby Akers painted the initial illustration in 2002 on the Moon's Cafe back alley entryway.

The Gallery evolved into the genuine piece of art that it is today over time. Now, the murals and pieces of art that take their cues from graffiti are visible well beyond the one entryway and throughout the whole alley. Without the thousands of participants, volunteers, and community members that support the Gallery, it would not have been possible.

Every year, new pieces of art are added by artists, giving viewers a constantly expanding and evolving experience. Every summer, a sizable painting event is organized that enables local artists and people of the community to participate in the Freak Alley Gallery's transformation. The Alley would not exist as it does now without donations and fundraisers. The Boise community's efforts have resulted in F.A.G building something that is far greater than the Alley itself.
