The labyrinth of alley-ways in downtown Kingston are like little adventures we can explore everyday full of surprises, intrigue and history. A turn here, a stone wall there, secret little balconies with a view of a court yard or a sculpture quietly, humbly hanging above your head, these are all gems that are unique to Kingston!
Well, that alley-way adventure literally, just got a lot more intriguing, and colourful! :-)
Here's your introduction to "Martello Alley"!
When you venture down Martello Alley at 203 B Wellington Street, prepare to have a smile that only great art and creativity can create!
Reminiscent of, and inspired by La Rue du Trésor in Québec, this is an adventure with an wonderfully artistic ending!
The alley is brain child of an artist collective offering eclectic works that are sure to brighten any day. Selling original art work as well as prints, this is a space designed for any budget and any style/size of space.
These works will adorn the walls of the alley tempting you further in to stroll the court yard; a work in progress that promises to be beautifully rich with local history and seasonal landscape design. Then wind up at the atelier where you will find a gallery and artists with their works in progress to welcome you at the end.
Drop by and see what's new, meet an artist and have a cup of coffee. They would love to meet you! Visit the collective on Facebook to read up about the artists and what's happening at Martello Alley!
If you're in the area, do stop by and support these talented Kingston artists! :-)
And, here are a few more photos of this "Artistic Adventureland"! :-)
