About Esco Alley Art
The Vision
ESCO ALLEY ART is a volunteer group that was established to create publicly available, easily accessible outdoor art galleries. Working under the auspices of the Escondido Downtown Business Association, the group brings together the artists, building owners, and related businesses needed to generate these galleries. The group arranges financial support through grants and individual donations.
THE CREEK TRAIL MURAL PROJECT!
Our Latest Mural Collection
Six new murals, each measuring 15 by 10 feet, bring a vibrant collection of public art to the Escondido Creek Trail.
Located on the Neighborhood Healthcare building at 460 North Elm Street in Escondido, the murals transform a prominent stretch of the trail into an outdoor art gallery for the community to enjoy.
This ambitious project by ESCO Alley Art was made possible through a grant from the Public Art Commission.
Take a walk along the Creek Trail and experience Escondido’s newest collection of public art!
Visit Esco Alley Art
Since 2021 we have brought more than 70 murals to Escondido in outdoor art galleries, in the alleys along Grand Avenue, at the California Center for the Arts and along the Escondido Creek Trail (unveiling in April 2026).
Join the Second Saturday Art Walk or make an afternoon out of enjoying the murals and take the opportunity to visit Escondido’s many wonderful restaurants.
We are evaluating sites for future murals. If you know of any suitable spaces, please let us know at art@escoalleyart.com.
Featured Mural
Community Unity
Imagine students of all ages, K through 12, cooperating to create a work of art for public display.
This idea has been nurtured within ESCO ALLEY ART for some time. The 2024 Art, Culture and Creativity Month in Escondido made it possible.
Funds were granted by the Public Art Commission. The Calvin Christian School agreed to participate, rapidly changing its curriculum to accommodate the project. The art teams were formed under the supervision of the school’s art teachers and the work began.
The theme was COMMUNITY UNITY.
The original idea involving a competition between the teams was discarded, simply because all the works of art contained elements important to the theme. In the end these elements were combined in the resulting mural, which is printed on laminated aluminum substrate measuring 20 by 10 feet.
The mural can presently be viewed in the alley between Broadway and Maple Street south of Grand Avenue in Escondido.
