The weather is getting warmer, so what better time to check out the creative work of artists blowing up all over the River North (RiNo) Art District? We initially posted about the colorful murals and graffiti that live in the alleyway behind our office back in September of 2013, which you can check out here. In the recent months, RiNo experienced a big boom, the “Alleyway Gallery” as we’ve lovingly dubbed it, between Blake Street and Larimer Street from 25th to 30th, and has seen some fresh paint. New businesses like breweries, coffee shops, restaurants and retail shops are making their way into RiNo. The colorful alleyway art pieces are expanding outwards of the alleyway and becoming more prominent and permanent pieces on the architecture of the local businesses along Larimer and Blake Street too.
Visit RiNO, grab a beer and some lunch with friends, but only after taking a stroll though the area to view some free and fantastic art.
