A Breath of Air

 

Art — in an alley way between a parking lot and the street. Why call it graffiti? Call it art. No one is chasing the artists away, no one is referring to their work as mere doodling. If you're lucky you might walk through when someone is creating a picture—redoing, painting over, tagging.

The alley is called Modica Way and it's alive —

Today I went down to Central Square to buy some art supplies and walked through the alley to get to Mass Ave. Several people stood around reading the words, checking out a few new sections.

Whether it's mural art or contemporary art it makes me smile.
