Folks in the Indianapolis area have a new art gallery in town, and the official opening is tomorrow, June 12, 2025, at 11 AM. I don’t know how much of a ruckus there will be, but if you’re nearby, why not come out and meet your artistic neighbors? Follow them on Instagram!
The “Current” newspaper in Carmel, Indiana recently ran a story about the new Free Little Art Gallery in town, and you can read it here. Nice work, curator Stephanie Landon! You can find the gallery online at:
The Free Little Art Gallery formerly known as FLAG on Sunset is moving to a new location as of today. No word yet on whether the URL will also change since it’s no longer on Sunset.
Opening today, the first Free Little Art Gallery (that we know of) in Tempe, Arizona! It appears to have solar-powered lights…
Part of the Arts MAGNET program I wrote about earlier, this gallery operated by the Operation ARTS Foundation appears to be the first in its town. I adore the decorations on the sides, and the gallery has either metal on the back or magnetic paint, which I approve of since I mostly make magnets.
Thanks to @littlelibraryguy for the tip on this one. The VICTORY HEIGHTS Free Little Art Gallery in Seattle is a new-ish transplant of the former Wallingford gallery. If you’re in the area, please stop by, peruse the free art, and bring home a treasure, or leave something for someone else to love! The curator asks that if you want to mail art, query first via DM. I do wish people would let me know when they move their galleries so I can update the map — and announce the new location here.
Known for its family-friendly outdoor Go Kart track, this town now has another claim to fame with the addition of a Free Little Art Gallery on the bank of the Anacostia River. One of four sponsored by the Operation ARTS Foundation as part of their Art Magnet initiative, this capacious and eye-catching gallery has a magnet-compatible back wall, which I like since magnets are kind of my thing. More pictures here.
OK so this is cool. The Tally FLAG is an old post box that’s been repurposed into a Free Little Art Gallery by replacing the metal doors with plexiglass (is what I think it is). It’s got lots of space, and it’s built for outdoors with sturdy metal construction. And of course magnets will stick to it, so I sent them some — the address is in the map entry. Welcome to the FLAG community, curator Holly Kratt!
Part of an “Art Magnet” initiative that I hope sticks, the Operation ARTS Foundation has a project to create Free Little Art Galleries at various points around town, concentrating on high traffic areas. One of these is at the Gateway Arts Center in Brentwood. More pictures here. The administrator writes: “Art M.A.G.N.E.T.” is a public art project created by Operation ARTS Foundation to encourage creative community interaction through art! This is a public art project created to showcase Maryland’s creatives through miniature art galleries placed among local established landmarks and parks throughout Maryland.

This new, brightly painted gallery along a coastal road is ready for your art. If you live in the area, stop by — if not, check with curator Deborah Maxwell before sending art by mail. I sent a few magnets… Based on the Instagram account name — @freelittleartgallery_thumbmi/ — there is something to do with thumbs here? It is a mystery. But we can live with mysteries. Not all questions have answers.
