Alley Angel
Alley Angel is a photograph taken in 1994 by Deborah Hardee and developed in a limited edition of 17 silver gelatin prints. Taken in the alley behind the old Interlude bar, the photograph depicts a group of people standing outside on a snowy evening. Of the photo, Hardee says, "This print is unique from the other images [in this collection] in that it represents my strength as an artist." It joined the Boise Visual Chronicle's collection of paintings, drawings, prints, photographs, and other works depicting life in Boise in 1996.
The Boise Visual Chronicle (BVC) is a city-owned collection of paintings, drawings, prints, photographs and other works depicting life in Boise. The collection provides a rich visual document of Boise’s changing landscape, people and perspectives. The BVC also forms a unique portrait of the artistic vitality and evolving perceptions of artists in the region. With original funding from the Greater Boise Auditorium District, additional works are acquired or commissioned and funded by Boise City and Capital City Development Corporation (CCDC). Works from the collection are exhibited at the Boise Centre on the Grove, Boise City Hall, CCDC’s offices and the Boise Airport.
