What is the purpose of the Tiny Doors Jesup project?

​It is a public art project designed to encourage exploration, a sense of wonder, and a spirit of creativity while getting people out and about to explore our community. Our project is intended to cultivate activities for a vibrant community and make a positive impact.

​

How do you decide where to put a door?

The tiny doors will be carefully placed in areas that are public spaces, free to visit, pedestrian-friendly and when possible wheelchair and stroller accessible. We are choosing locations that will make a pleasant outing if visitors set out to find all of the doors in one day or just happen upon one. 

 

How long will the Tiny Doors be up?

The tiny doors will be created to a high standard and kept up for two years. Having a time limit should build excitement and encourage people to get out to see the doors.  Companies and individuals who commission a tiny door can keep their doors up as long as they wish, however the WCAC will not be responsible for the upkeep.

 

What size are the doors?

The doors measure approximately 6 inches high x 3 inches wide plus additional adornments at the top and sides of the doors. 

 

What are Tiny Doors made of?

For durability, each original design is first sculpted and then cast in resin, painted and sealed to hold up to outdoor conditions. Tiny Doors intended for indoors will utilize a variety of durable materials.

 

How do I get a Tiny Door?

An application will be available on the WCAC website, and the WCAC Tiny Doors committee will consider how well the location aligns with the project’s overall goals.  The process is deliberate and will take time. We are not interested in putting doors up quickly. The tiny doors are meant to be tiny works of art for an enriching community experience.

​

What is the process?

All tiny door installations are original ideas handmade by local artists using high-quality and durable materials. An artist will talk to each patron before we get started, and a unique design will be presented for approval. Revisions may be discussed. A second proof will be presented if needed. Once the design is approved, we get started and keep you informed throughout the process.

After the initial public Tiny Doors Jesup have been completed, individuals may commission a Tiny Door for their own home, patio, or as a gift without having the location disclosed on the Tiny Doors touring map.
