The mission of Tiny Doors ATL is to bring big wonder to tiny spaces. Tiny Doors ATL offers the Beltline an opportunity to explore the big impact of small scale public art. Over the last year, Tiny Doors ATL has installed 6 small doors around the city. The scale of our six inch doors have inspired Atlantans to explore their city, hunting for each door and posting pictures of their finds to social media. Our most popular doors are on or around the Beltline, suggesting a natural partnership between our two organizations. We’d like to bring urban explorers to your paths!
Tiny Doors ATL | 2022
Tiny Doors ATL has been bringing big wonder to public spaces in Atlanta through joyful and interactive art since 2014. The project is the work of artist Karen Anderson Singer, who describes her mission as “creating a tiny canvas for the public’s imagination through accessible art which respects its unique surroundings.” In the 2022-23 season, six original Tiny Doors ATL installations were re-imagined along the Atlanta Beltline Trail.
Originally found on the Krog Street Tunnel, Tiny Door 1 was the very first Tiny Doors ATL installation. Staying in the spirit of the tunnel, the installation was constantly updated with multiple collaborations and seasonal designs. Four years in, new Beltline construction raised the sidewalk six inches and Tiny Door 1 found a new home to the right of the tunnel. The reimagined Tiny Door 1 is located on Wylie Street in conjunction with Forward, Warrior!! Mural Project and Art on the Atlanta Beltline. The design reflects the architecture of the Krog Tunnel, honoring the original location.
