Tiny Doors ATL is an ongoing art installation project that has captured the hearts of Atlantans and visitors alike since 2014 [2]. Created by artist Karen Anderson Singer, these miniature doors, standing at just seven inches tall, can be found in various public spaces throughout the city [8, 9]. Each door is a unique sculpture, designed to reflect the spirit, architecture, and unique elements of the community in which it resides [8]. Singer's inspiration for Tiny Doors ATL stemmed from a desire to engage the public through accessible and interactive art [2, 9]. The doors serve as a tiny canvas for the public's imagination, inviting viewers to create their own stories and interpretations [15].
