Young artists in The Artist League’s Mural Making class have been busy designing, painting and filling a Free Little Art Gallery for their community to enjoy. Free Little Art Galleries, or FLAG, have become a nationwide project that grew out of the concept of Little Free Libraries. These tiny galleries engage the community through shared, swapped and viewed mini art pieces. FLAGs can be found in various states and US locations, including Ann Arbor and Plymouth.
The Free Little Art Gallery was painted and filled by young artists Chloe Figueras, Mia Garrido, Allister Green, Sophia Shark, Elsa Shaul, Pearl Topping, Emma Wagner and Abigail Yavor, who joined the Saline Community Education's mural-making class.
The exterior of this Free Little Art Gallery was painted with an abstract color design by the students (3rd-6th grade) and then covered with their drawings. The idea behind the design was that anyone can give or take art to enjoy and exchange. The interior is a small-scale gallery providing the opportunity for the community to share art with one another while making art accessible and free to everyone. Community members are encouraged to make a tiny piece of art and place it in the gallery or visit it and take a piece of art they love. Art pieces can be made out of any material. The sign attached to the FLAG reads,
Make Art - Take Art. Welcome to our community’s Free Little Art Gallery! Everyone is encouraged to take a piece, leave a piece or both! Enjoy and tell your friends so the art changes often.
It is located at 324 N. Ann Arbor St., at the home of Linda Kiser located at the corner of Bennett and Ann Arbor streets. Kiser often helps teach Artist League classes.

Thank you to those Council members who support the citizens and the Rec Center.
Please note, the rec center now requires 1/3 to almost 1/2 of its operations be funded by the City of Saline taxpayers. Approximately 10% of our City population uses the facility, while 2/3 of the members are non-resident. It’s time the non City residents of the Saline community pays its fair share.
What happened with the funding for the needed repairs at the Recreation Center? With all of the programs and community services provided at the Recreation Center, the nearby communities spending tens of millions of dollars to build new Recreation Centers, and the number of members/high usage for the Center and part
The mayor and city council love to spend taxpayer dollars frivolously. More and more $$$ into the rec center, that needs to stop. We still don’t have drinkable water and yet the city keeps raising rates. Can’t speak for everyone but I would much rather have clean water than a “lazy river!”
Sorry, Toby Crotty. Do not align to your assessment or thoughts. While nearby communities are spending tens of millions of dollars to build Recreation Centers (because of their value to citizens and communities), Saline is in the fortunate position of already having a very good facility in place which now needs to
You avoided my main point. The rec center is a nice amenity for those that use it. However, it is not a necessity. Clean safe water that we pay exorbitant rates for IS a necessity for EVERYONE!
The unprofessional behavior while in the supposed role of being a journalist when talking to that protester is ridiculous. The incorrect information and “facts” you spewed during the conversation are just par for the course. Thanks for showing up!
I agree with your comments about this journalist. I use the word journalist loosely here, as a journalist should be bringing forth the views of the people they are interviewing, not bringing their obvious bias into every forced conversation.
I understand the right 4 peaceful protests, why expose children to hate and show disrespect to our flag, what is that teaching the children. As a Korean Veteran I oppose anyone disrespecting our countries FLAG, shame on the protesters,
