“I spy the Ann Arbor Art Center’s ‘Urban-Fetti’ alley art installation,” writes Alandra Meade. It’s “on the alley wall of the Alley Bar at 112 W. Liberty Street,” adds Eric Sobocinski, and Joe Cialdella notes that it’s behind Pretzel Bell. “This mural literally cascades off the wall to the alley pavement,” says Ginny Weingate, citing the clue. “I like how the mural stretches down to the ground,” says Shannon Kohlitz, “although I wish it could get touched up!”
According to the A2AC Murals website, the installation, created by Columbus, Indiana–based design studio LAA Office, “is designed to provide a surprising moment of joy in the urban fabric.” “It always reminds me of one of my favorite candies—Good and Plenty,” writes Jerri Jenista. “A bonus for the mural,” says Dave Bicknell, “is that it glows in the dark.” Meade shares the website’s explanation: “foil-based decals and powder-coated aluminum elements in bright, fluorescent colors that glow in the evening.”
