What is Allez?
Allez! (al-lay): French interjection meaning “Let’s Go!”
the perfect wordplay for our downtown alley activation
Mission
Allez! is a revolving outdoor urban art gallery which activates the alleyway of the beautiful new 120 N Higgins Avenue building in the Original Townsite of Missoula. We engage, promote and sponsor a wide variety of artists and artistic visions, and we provide a custom display system on a lighted alley wall for showcasing quality artworks that represent our region. We strive for ways to create a tangible, stable economy for artists by partnering with other community organizations, nonprofits, schools and businesses to promote sponsored public events.
Vision:
Allez! envisions a Missoula downtown with all alleys activated with good lighting, mediated blight and beautiful artistic expression with safe, welcoming public-access for all.
Values:
-We value a public art space for all to share safely
-We envision a stable economic framework for working artists
-We strive to remedy downtown’s visual blight, one panel at a time
-We are committed to providing space for education and workshops
-We believe that the courage and creativity of the human spirit is worth championing
