Free Expression Tunnel

The Free Expression Tunnel at NC State University in Raleigh is a constantly evolving canvas for students and visitors. As the longest, widest pedestrian tunnel on campus, it's a legal graffiti space that showcases a vibrant mix of art, messages, and murals. For photo-travelers, it offers a unique opportunity to capture the pulse of current social, political, and cultural expressions. The art changes frequently, so repeat visits can yield completely new photographic experiences. Early morning or later in the evening provides the best light for photos without the crowd. Be ready to see anything from intricate portraits to passionate political statements. Consider bringing a wide-angle lens to capture the tunnel's full length and breadth. Also, respectful interaction with any artists at work can enrich your visit with stories behind the art.
