Wall Alley Portal is a mural installation by local, self-taught artists and up-and-coming muralists Ashley Pierce and Josh Cummings. Installed in Wall Alley directly behind the Garden Theater and adjacent to the Short North Church, Wall Alley Portal is an engaging new project that helps to enliven this space.

Pierce, who regularly shows her studio work at Lindsey Gallery in the Short North Arts District, was inspired by the unique architecture of the buildings that line Wall Alley, specifically an historic feature of the Garden Theater that was once a portal doorway into the old building. The imagery exhibited in Wall Alley Portal signifies hope, transformation, and the collective power that the many unique not-profits adjacent to the alley bring in helping the communities they serve. In addition to the artwork, lighting will be added to the alley to enhance safety and create an even more dynamic experience of the artwork at night.

Wall Alley Portal is a project of the Short North Alliance and is made possible with support from: the United Way of Central Ohio, PNC Bank, The Columbus Foundation, the Short North Foundation, the American Electric Power Foundation, the Short North Church, Rock City Church, The Lykens Companies, the Greater Columbus Arts Council, the Ohio Arts Council, and the Short North Alliance Art Fund.
