Over the weekend, several Artists created brand new mural masterpieces in the “Art Alley†located behind SW 152nd Street in downtown Burien.
The event – the first ever – was called “Northwest Mural Masters,†and is the brainchild of Sam Sneke, local artist and The Art Alley founder.
John White and Shelli Park created this video:
