Calling all makers, art appreciators, and curators of curious things — we’ve found a picture-perfect way to enjoy art in Winston-Salem.
Free Little Art Galleries, aka FLAGs, are small boxes stationed around the country where locals can donate, take, or simply enjoy tiny art. They’re like Free Little Libraries, except dedicated to creativity.
Here are a few ways you can enjoy FLAGs in our community.
Find a gallery
There are currently two known FLAGs in the Winston-Salem area — and hundreds around the globe — which can be found using this map:
Psst — know of a gallery that isn’t listed on the map? Submit or update a FLAG.
Create your own FLAG
Feeling inspired by these little boxes of joy? You can create your own to place in your front yard, or with approval from a public library, school, store, or community space. You can build your own box or purchase a pre-made box.
Once you’re ready to set it up, don’t forget to submit your FLAG on the map.
Put your art in a gallery
Whether you want to keep your art local or spread the love, there’s a way to get your work out there.
You can start by dropping your work off at galleries around town, and if you’ve still got goodies to share, try traveling to FLAGs further out, like in Greensboro or Charlotte (hey, CLTtoday). Check the guidelines of each gallery beforehand to ensure your art piece will be accepted.
Bonus: If you love receiving art, check out these ArT-o-MaT machines around the Twin City to support local artists.
