Freak Alley is a “notable venue” for murals, graffiti and public art located in an alley in downtown Boise. It is said to be the largest outdoor gallery in the Northwest, and has been a Boise institution since 2002. It began with a painting of a single alley doorway and now extends from the alley itself to gravel parking lot. Freak Alley was established by Colby Akers, Freak Alley Gallery. According to an article from the Arbiter, Akers fell into the project by originally having the opportunity to paint the side of the Moon’s Cafe on the far side of what is now the completed alley. Many neighboring businesses saw this and wanted him to continue his work farther into the space to cover the back of their building. As of 2020, Melissa Nodzu is the new face of Freak Alley. Extant murals painted over and replaced by new murals (or incorporated into them) every few years. It has featured prominently in a survey of ten mid-sized American cities with thriving artistic communities in which Boise ranked second. Freak Alley relies solely on donation and volunteer work to operate the indoor and outdoor facility and accepts anyone interested in becoming a part of its culture.

Good place to get the feel of what's going down in the downtown Boise. Supporting local artists and creative students. Known for a great background of photographers. Surrounded by good eats and local venues. Wonderful for ALL ages 👏 let's keep it that way.

Open-air gallery set along an alley between 8th and 10th Streets and Bannock and Idaho Streets. Fun to walk through any time of year to see the ever-changing murals.

Downtown Boise is a fun place to hang out for a few hours or days! Enjoy great restaurants, explore the many shops, attend a BSU game, or bike a few miles on the Greenbelt along the Boise River. While you're in the area, stroll Freak Alley, an ever-changing art exhibit presented by local artists.
