Map updates

NOTE: there is not a post about every gallery — the Map Updates post category shows new updates and not necessarily all of those. There are hundreds of FLAGs with no corresponding post. To see if there’s one near you check the map.

Asheville, North Carolina

Here’s a Free Little Art Gallery I just heard about, in Asheville, North Carolina. It’s operated by artist Rachel Friel, and is located at 48 Ardoyne Road. Welcome to the FLAG community, Rachel! If you’re in the area, please bring your own tiny art creation to leave for others to admire. In any case, come browse and see what your neighbors have created — and if you see something you like, you can take it home, free. This gallery is open to all ages and skill levels. Everyone has art in their soul, so come… Read More »Asheville, North Carolina

Atascadero, California

Art lovers of Atascadero, California, rejoice! There’s a new gallery in town opening today. While it’s not large, it is open to all — anyone can share their art in the Free Little Art Gallery on Mountain View Drive. Thanks to your neighbor, Ashley Rosilez, for providing this venue for artists of all ages and skill levels. If you create small art, please bring something along to show and share. In any case, come browse, see what amazing and amusing things others are making, and maybe you will find something you love, which you can… Read More »Atascadero, California

Billericay Art Trail

Art lovers of Billericay, England and environs have a new art opportunity, and it’s a big one. There are now seven Free Little Art Galleries in town.

A first: Africa (Johannesburg)

Wow, okay! We’ve broken into a new continent! Here’s the first Free Little Art Gallery in Africa (that we know about). There are actually a set of three created by the same person, as part of a documentary film project. The galleries are all in the Johannesburg area, and are operated by “Imari” last name possibly van der Walt. They want to create more of them and are asking for venues to host them. Project website and Instagram feed.

Tempe, Arizona

Opening today, the first Free Little Art Gallery (that we know of) in Tempe, Arizona! It appears to have solar-powered lights…

Takoma Park, Maryland

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.

Victory Heights, Seattle Washington

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.

Veterans Park, Edmonston MD

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.

Tallahassee, Florida

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!
