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 Door 5
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.
Tiny Door 5 was originally installed in collaboration with Trees Atlanta in 2015. It was retired after the location inside of a living oak tree became unsustainable. Here in the Stumpery Garden, Tiny Doors ATL again collaborated with Trees Atlanta to introduce a reimagined version of the original Tiny Door 5. The orange color of the door is inspired by the original design, and the acorn encapsulating the door acknowledges the importance of its natural surroundings.
Augmented Reality: The interactive augmented reality feature of Tiny Door 5 offers some fun insight about the door’s arborous surroundings! To watch it come to life follow these steps:
