FAQ

Hi! Thanks for your interest in Tiny Doors ATL. Here are answers to some of the most common questions about the project.

Do they open?

The doors open to your imagination! There are a couple of ways you can engage with them beyond knocking. Many doors have an augmented reality feature. Check the map on this page to find out which! 

Also, Door #10E in Grant Park opens into a tree. One of primary goals in creating the doors is fostering a sense of wonder in people of all ages. We’ve found that opening the door to see a wall, or even a small scene tends to answer the questions your imagination is asking. And isn’t the question the fun part? That said, if you’ve really gotta open one, the tree door is pretty satisfying.

How do you decide where to put a door? 
All of our numbered locations are public, wheelchair accessible, and free to visit. After that, we think about a number of factors. We consider the neighborhood and value locations that are super pedestrian friendly. We like our doors to be more or less within biking distance of one another so you and your crew could take a tiny door day tour. We prefer locations where there is an existing conversation between artists. The Krog Street Tunnel and the BeltLine are prime examples of locations where artists are talking to one another.

Are the doors for a cause?
The cause is public art, encouraging exploration, and developing community!

I found a door!  Is this one of your doors?
All of the doors created and maintained by Tiny Doors ATL have our name on them somewhere.  

I’m in Atlanta, how can I get a door from Tiny Doors ATL?
Our preference is to wait until an organization comes to us. So if you’re interested, please let us know. We are more interested in creating and maintaining a sustainable art project than putting up doors quickly all over town. We move slowly and deliberately with our calendar. If your neighborhood or business would like to be involved, you can drop us an email at studio@tinydoorsatl.com and we’ll send you an application!
