Tiny Doors ATL Artist and Director, Karen Anderson, graduated from Rutgers University and when she moved to Atlanta she had a vision of making free and accessible public art that contributes to the different communities in Atlanta. She was inspired by a project from her hometown of Ann Arbor called Fairy Doors, and wanted to "bring big wonder to tiny spaces" here in Atlanta. She partnered with Sarah Meng, an Atlanta native, who works as a mental health counselor in a university clinic. She is a self-trained artist who specializes in crafts.

Now you are going to create your own Tiny Door!

  • Step 1: Think about a person or place you want to design your Tiny Door for. You might have to do a little research to find out some unique qualities of the person or place you chose.

Step 2: Gather art materials (Cardboard, paper, paint, markers, scrapbooking paper, glue etc...)

Step 3: Make a sketch on a scrap piece of paper of what you want it to look like. Think about how the person or place you chose is unique and how you can add details to create a door to represent that famous person or place.

Step 4: Create your tiny door, install it somewhere around the house or outside, and then take a picture of it and upload it to Seesaw to share it with me!

Step 5: Use the text or recording tool to tell me about your door. Respond to these questions: Who or what place did you choose and why? Where is this place located or where is the person from? What details or symbols did you add to help represent your person or place?

Nicknamed the “tree door,” this project was a collaboration with Trees Atlanta in celebration of Arbor Day. Located on the PATH Trail near the Carter Center, Tiny Door #5 is the first door to actually open! Visitors have left tiny offerings in the space behind the door, including flowers, figurines, and even cash! This particular American Elm was selected because Trees Atlanta advised us we would not harm the tree if we nailed into the heavy bark exterior. We utilized some of the bark naturally shed by the tree to create a roof. The door is orange to reflect the color of Georgia red clay around the tree.
