#01 Krog Street tunnel
1 Krog St NE, Atlanta, GA 30307 | Parking: On street parking on Wylie St
Door #1, Krog Street Tunnel
The first door by Tiny Doors ATL (installed 6.28.14). This door can be found on the SE corner near the entrance to the Krog Tunnel. This door changes frequently- much like the tunnel itself!
To see Door 1 for yourself, look between the two murals on Wylie Street that were created in conjunction with Forward, Warrior!! Mural Project and Art on the Atlanta BeltLine. This location is only 100 yards from the door’s original spot!
July 2014 – Moved and Replaced June 2022
Originally located on an outside wall of the Krog Street Tunnel, this door was the first Tiny Doors ATL installation. We selected the tunnel for Door #1 a few reasons. Most importantly, Krog is an active street art location and we hoped this project would be one other artists would respond to in some way. In 2014, we first painted the hashtag #TinyDoorsATL by this door hoping people would upload photos to social media as a way to document not only the door itself, but also an active response to the door.
People noticed the door, and to our surprise, began leaving tiny gifts on the stoop. A very small to-go box from a popular neighborhood restaurant, The Flying Biscuit, appeared on the doorʼs front porch. A tiny Atlanta Journal-Constitution left by Scoop Callahan documented the buffing of the tunnel. A miniature pumpkin appeared around Halloween. FAFATL artists began using the door as a drop site for art. We were thrilled!
Years later, Door 1 has evolved to a new spot on Wylie Street as a part of our Atlanta Beltline Summer Exhibition! The design reflects the architecture of the Krog Tunnel, honoring the original location. It also features a tiny tiny door that represents a long-running collaboration with artists Lotus Eaters Club.
