Artist Alley: Kokomo’s 24/7 Outdoor Art Gallery
Color, creativity, and a little surprise around every corner. No hours. No tickets. Just art.
Right in the heart of downtown, Kokomo’s art scene doesn’t clock out. Artist Alley is always open, always changing, and always worth a walk through.
Downtown Kokomo is full of places that showcase art, but one stands out for being open all day, every day.
Artist Alley is a vibrant outdoor gallery tucked between the Howard County Administration Building and the Kokomo Art Association’s Artworks Gallery. Since 2014, it has served as a space where regional creativity shows up in bold, unexpected ways.
The current exhibit keeps that tradition going strong. Visitors will find bold paintings, mixed media creations, and sculptures. The 12th annual showcase will remain on display through August 2026. A new exhibit is unveiled every September.
And Artist Alley is just the beginning.
Downtown is home to several art-filled alleyways, each with its own style. Geek Alley, located next to Kokomo Toys and Collectibles, features celebrity portrait murals. Garden Alley, on Main Street along the east side of the Courthouse Square, is filled with metal designs and flowers. Back Alley will soon join the lineup with artwork created by artists from The Bohemian Tattoo Club & Art Gallery.
Together, these spaces are part of All Alleys Leads to Art, an initiative from the Greater Kokomo Downtown Association and the Kokomo Art Association.
