Locally, it is a grassroots art curation and distribution movement that spreads by word of mouth as one then another person chooses to install a Little Free Art Gallery and use it to curate and distribute original works of art for free in the neighborhood or community. Globally, it is a Web-based membership organization for artists and art lovers, free to all to join and use. On the Web, Little Fr
ee Art Gallery Project tracks which works of art have been donated by which artists, following them (on the project blog and map; via email follow-up, or by tracking RFID and/or QR code tags on the art work) to see where they go: stories to be shared online. The Little Free Art Gallery Project can also download/stream new art works, video, and other digital media, to Web-connected Little Free Art Gallery kiosks equipped to present digital interactive multimedia art experiences. Who is organizing the Little Free Art Gallery project? Doug Millison developed basic concepts for the project in his Bay Area Free Art Exchange (BAFAE) concept draft . The project name is inspired by the Little Free Library project which El Cerrito, CA-based artist Heidi Rand brought to Millison's attention when she saw news of it after they began discussing BAFEA; Doug, Heidi and George McRae, discussed the concept which Doug has since fleshed out in project overview drafts, a blog, and page.
