Description
Graffiti Alley is an iconic alleyway dedicated to street art in Cambridge, Massachusetts. It runs between 565 and 567 Massachusetts Ave in the middle of Central Square. This 80-foot pathway known as “Graffiti Alley” connects City Parking Lot 5 to Massachusetts Avenue. Two signposts, one reading “Richard B. ‘Rico’ Modica Way” and the other “Graffiti Alley,” mark the entrance to this 24-hour, free, and open-air gallery. When visitors enter, they are greeted by a vibrant corridor. The alleyway, which is covered in graffiti, celebrates the energy and originality of Boston residents while highlighting the beauty of ephemerality.
Graffiti Alley attracts a wide range of visitors, including artists, tourists, students, and locals who use the corridor as a bypass to the public parking lot on the opposite side of the street. Many consider the location to be one of Boston’s “most Instagrammable” sites.
