Grove Place, once forgotten alley, comes to life with vibrant murals
Art is blossoming in Downtown Brooklyn’s once forgotten alley, Grove Place.
Street artists See One and Don Rimx descended last weekend on the block-long dead-end byway near the Fulton Mall and created a massive mural of cartoon creatures grooving in a musical jam session – including one with sunglasses and braids that’s an homage to Stevie Wonder.
The artists’ marathon Saturday and Sunday spray-painting sessions were completely kosher. The two men were there at the invitation of the Downtown Brooklyn Partnership, has which launched a campaign to clean up the gritty alley and convince the landlords who jointly own it to turn it into a tiny commercial corridor.
