ABOUT TAG and TiniER Art Galleries

    ABOUT Tiny Art Gallery at driveways end: Was it for milk delivery? Was it for salt storage? In Wisconsin both and more seem feasible. We don’t know the history behind the strange little house at the end of our driveway but we hope it’s future will be as a centerpiece of sorts for building a community or network of like minded artists. So we are turning this little hut into ’ the Tiny Art Gallery at driveways end’. This is very much a work in progress, a fun, collaborative and slowly evolving project.  Follow along on Instagram @Tinyartgalleryatdrivewaysend ABOUT TiniER Art Gallery: Grandpa built our grown and flown first born this rather large dollhouse that resides in the basement. We’re repurposing it for the TiniER Art Gallery. This gallery displays actual tiny art in mostly virtual curated, juried group and solo shows.   Follow along on Instagram @Tinyartgalleryatdrivewaysend
