Artist Statement

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 are being re-imagined along the Atlanta BeltLine Trail. 

Tiny Door 6 was originally installed directly across from this location on the Paris on Ponce building. Tiny Door 6 was inspired by the French door style and was retired when the building closed in 2019. The new design is a reflection of the original red double door and is Augmented Reality enabled! You can find instructions through the QR code. The new Tiny Door 6 is located on the “Believe” bench, which is on loan from artist Ira Hill.
