In the Community – September 2026

CALL FOR TINY ART

One Columbia for Arts and Culture and the Congaree Vista Guild have launched a permanent Little Free Art Exchange on the Lady Street side of the Lincoln Street Tunnel!

Artists and community members are invited to help fill the exchange by contributing one small piece of handmade art to share. Artwork around 4″ × 4″ is ideal.

The Little Free Art Exchange is a free, family-friendly space where anyone can leave a little art and take a little art.

The goal is to fill the exchange with artwork from local artists, arts organizations, and community members—and keep it growing through continued participation.

Located at Lady Street side of the Lincoln Street Tunnel
