Art-O-Mat ~ a rehabilitated cigarette vending machine which dispenses Art
This is the brainchild of North Carolina Artist, Clark Whittington. In 1997, Whittington converted a cigarette vending machine into a unique method of selling and dispensing palm size art.
Each machine has been carefully given a new lease on Life.
Most Artwork sells for $5 each and each piece of Art is wrapped in cellophane and may include anything from earrings to beaded key-chains to illustrations to collages.
Approx. 400 Artists from 10 countries participate. Currently there are 100 Art-O-Mat machines across the US.

these are awesome!!
Those old vending machines are works of art themselves! I remember buying ciggies out of them -- but you paid a lot more for them, so it was only in an emergency.
Where to you find all these interesting articles?! Very cool! :-)
Lovely blog! And the Art-O-Mat machines are just the coolest! I'm a new follower ~ ♥♥
Best,
