The Palm Harbor Free Little Art Library opened in fall 2024.

Calling all makers, art appreciators, and curators of curious things — we’ve found a picture-perfect way to enjoy art around Tampa Bay.

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 or Sidewalk Joy, except dedicated to creativity.

Here are a few ways you can enjoy FLAGs in our community.

There are currently two up-and-running FLAGs in the Tampa Bay metropolitan area — and hundreds around the globe — which can be found using this map.

Here are some that we think are particularly special:

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. Either 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.
