Going on the Tiny Doors tour with Karen and then seeing the Tiny Doors studio was a wonderful experience! You will only see a handful on this tour, but you will take away tones of fascinating information! The tiny doors are absolute gems in Atlanta, something that no other city has. And to hear Karen talk about how she landed on the idea for the tiny doors, and what it takes to locate and create one, is really impressive. I learned a bit about what it takes to create a public piece of art and all the thoughts that go into each of the pieces. Weather, people, and other environmental things, along with ongoing maintenance, need to be taken into consideration. Karen also explained what she hopes her art evokes in those who get to view it. In addition, she talked about how some of the pieces have "changed" their surroundings. Very interesting! I dabble in art and a lot of what Karen talked about regarding her art has never crossed my mind. I found her to be fascinating and mindful of not just her art but the effect her art has on people and on the surrounding area. Visiting the Tiny Doors studio was an added plus. The studio is very cute, as it should be for such cute art projects, and it is very well organized which has to translate into efficient. I hope new Tiny Doors continue to pop up around the Atlanta area. They are all precious and I can't wait to see each other as they are installed. Thanks, Karen, for a...
Read moreOutstanding. We saw 5 Tiny Doors our last visit, a week in Atlanta, and plan to see more our next visit. We coupled the Tiny Door stops with something else to do in that area. We were fortunate to also be in town, to stop by the studio, meet the artist, Karen Anderson Singer (super talented, passionate and friendly), and her staff.All lovely. We added lunch to the store in Atlantic Station and after buying the t-shirt (love, love due to it's slim yet longer style and logo) and smaller tote (love) , we had a nice lunch and did some other shopping while there. I read a review from someone saying their kids were bored and they scored the "museum" a 1. ATLTinyDoors is SO much more! Follow the map, find the doors, see the places they are attached to. One is at a children's Center for Puppetry Art, another at the Fox Theater. We plan on doing the bike tour next to discover more TinyDoors.The story, the cause- public art, the discovery and exploring Atlanta make Tiny...
Read moreWhat a wonderful thing to have in ATL! Before my trip, I researched a ton and saw the Tiny Doors pop up pretty quickly and found it so interesting. I was in ATL for 6 days and was able to get 10 doors while doing other touristy things as well. There’s a whole website dedicated to the Tiny Doors created by the creator which provides a Google Maps link to finding the doors, about the Tiny Doors history, a PDF with each door’s address an in numbered order too.
In total, I think there’s about 37, but at least when I was there 4 were under repair. Also, keep in mind majority are numbered and outside, but there are around 4 that are inside actual places like the Fernbank Museum, Georgia Aquarium, etc. Overall, a very fun scavenger hunt thing to do if you’ve got time and something I’ll definitely continue when I...
