The Rapid City Arts Council (RCAC) manages the permitting process for Art Alley in Downtown Rapid City on behalf of the city. As artist, ourselves, we understand that the process of creating is different for everyone. This form helps us to support the public art process.
A permit and assigned location are provided for all approved murals. Please do your best to describe your proposed mural. Your submission will be reviewed by the Rapid City Arts Council staff to ensure the mural is family friendly.
Once the permit is approved, the process is as follows:
1. Pick up the permit*:
Artists must visit the Dahl Arts Center Education Complex in person to pick up a permit (Monday-Friday, 10am-4pm). The Dahl is located at 713 7th street, but the Education entrance is on Kansas City Street. This is 1 1/2 blocks from Art Alley.
*Identification is required when the permit is issued. Acceptable forms of ID: student ID, driver's license, tribal ID card.
2. Map & Mural Location: RCAC will provide a map of the permitted location.
If you are a professional artist and would like to participate in a mural project with youths as part of our Juvenile Diversion or other youth arts education initiatives, please email us at info@artalleyrc.com
