Uptown GR unveils new tiny door art installation
Tiny Doors Uptown GR is a new free, self-guided art hunt featuring 30 handcrafted miniature doors hidden throughout Eastown, East Hills, East Fulton, and Wealthy Street. It's an official ArtPrize 2026 entry, and visitors can follow a three-mile trail or create their own route as they search for tiny doors tucked into windows, shop displays, and other unexpected spots.
It is curated by Uptown GR's events team and a group of local volunteers, with no ticket or app needed. The doors are expected to stay year-round with more installations planned for the future.
For the full trail map and details, go to uptowngr.com/tiny-doors-ugr.
