The Issue
Bring Back our Free Little Art Gallery at Ronald Reagan Starbucks!
The Free Little Art Gallery, or FLAG for short, is a small cabinet in the corner of the store that showcased miniature works of art. It was for anyone in the community to participate in. You could take a piece of art home, leave your own small work of art, or just enjoy looking. There are also art supplies provided if you just feel like creating something right there as you sip your morning coffee.
This tiny art gallery helped give a sense of individuality to a regular coffee shop and made it feel personal. Every day when I arrived to purchase my coffee, I looked forward to seeing what new works of art had been left by my neighbors, making me feel truly connected. At a time when community and creativity matter more than ever, the FLAG offered something priceless: joy, generosity, and a reminder that art is for everyone.
Starbucks has made us remove the gallery and left just an empty space behind.
PLEASE sign our petition to respectfully request that Starbucks allow the gallery to return to the store to restore the source of inspiration and connection for our community that has since been missed.
