Folks interested in art gathered in "Art Alley" on Minna Street just south of 2nd Street. Some of the art was hung or displayed for sale, but other art was being created as we watched.

One man was creating art using spray cans of paint. The permanent mural on the wall behind the fence contrasted well with his new art.

One artist drank water from a plastic bottle and spit that water at his drawing to help the image run and drip.
