AdAmAn Alley Activation

Colorado Springs, Colorado

Once dark, narrow spaces relegated to delivery trucks and trash bins, urban alleys across the country have been transformed into bright, welcoming pedestrian areas through public art and creative placemaking. The first activated alley in downtown Colorado Springs is between the Carlton and historic Hibbard buildings. AdAmAn Alley celebrates the AdAmAn Club’s history and their tradition of summiting Pikes Peak to set off fireworks each New Year’s Eve.
