M.U.S.E. and Alley Art Project 2023

In summer of 2023 M.U.S.E., Inc. collaborated with The Alley Project. Kids in the Pilsen 18th Street neighborhood "had a powwow" with neighborhood gang members, making a pact that they would not spray paint tags on any murals. Since then the popularity of the artwork on wall throughout Pilsen's alleys has increased, and the threatening gang tagging has decreased.
