Located at 324 Cherry Alley, Lewisburg, PA, United States, Pennsylvania

The idea for the alley came from Bob Albin, a Lewisburg business owner.
“I was remodeling my building and the building next to it was an ugly, gray drab cinder block building. I came up with the idea -- that would be a great place for a mural,” Albin said. He approached the owners of the building who agreed to having a mural painted on it.

Albin hired artist Jim Reid to begin the first mural. Reid, who lived half the year in Lewisburg and the other half in Barcelona Spain, says that he is influenced by artists including Alexander Calder, Joan Miro, Andre Matisse, and Picasso.

“My first artistic hero was Joan Miró. I saw an exhibition of his in Milan, and was amazed that such childlike art could be treated with such importance; that hundreds of people could line up for it. The paintings were so beautiful and simple. That was the first art exhibition I ever attended.” - Reid
