Both inside our homes and out in our towns, art abounds. I love seeing and hearing about how different cities across the country are creating their own public art movements. From free art scavenger hunts to large scale public pieces, there seems to be something for everyone and an endless supply of art to discover.
Here in Atlanta, I recently heard about TinyDoorsATL. Self-described as “a small artist cooperative bringing big wonder to tiny spaces. Our constantly evolving installation pieces are an interactive part of their community. With the installation of a door, what was once a wall or the column of a bridge becomes an entrance to collective creativity and an invitation to whimsy. Tiny Doors ATL is dedicated to free and accessible art. You will never have to buy a ticket to see one of our doors. We inspire curiosity and exploration in people of all ages.”
“Tiny Doors ATL literally installs 6-inch tall doors in strategic places throughout the city. Atlanta has a vibrant art scene, most of which happens on a large scale. For example, Living Walls has added incredible art at large mural sizes all over the city. Tiny Doors ATL plays on a much smaller visual scale. You could walk past our doors for months and never see them. We love creating that moment of surprise as you walk by. We love interrupting your usual walk [with the discovery of a Tiny Door].”
The TinyDoorsATL is an all-volunteer organization with two Co-Directors, Karen Anderson and Sarah Meng. Other members of the group include the Tiny Guardians, who you might see out tending to doors and porches on sunny days. What kind of free and fun art is happening in your city?
