Black Daze in Uptown Alleyway
November 2021 — This narrow Uptown alleyway comes alive after dark with the vibrant work of local artist Black Daze, whose murals brighten the service corridors behind Hennepin Avenue’s bars, restaurants, and small storefronts. The deep colors, stylized florals, and swirling patterns contrast sharply with the utilitarian yellow brick wall opposite, highlighting the way Minneapolis’ alleys often double as informal public art galleries. Puddles from a recent rain reflect the overhead security lights, adding texture to a space normally overlooked in the bustle of Uptown’s nightlife.
