I am here for Networking

About Me

Founded in 1997, Artists in Cellophane is an arts group that converts banned/retired cigarette machines into fine art vending machines. Currently we have appx 90 machines located around the world, with over 400 artists from 11 countries presently involved in this project. Some machines donate a percentage of profit to arts-related charities in their communities.Our mission is to encourage art consumption by expanding access to artists' work. Art*o*mat® has created an opportunity to purchase original artwork while providing exposure and promotional support for artists. Our machines combine the worlds of art and commerce in an innovative form. We believe that art should be progressive, yet personal and approachable. What better way to do this, than with a heavy cold steel machine?Oh, Art-o-mat® is a federal/international registered trademark for use in connection with original art vending machines and we do not receive funding from (or have a working relationship/affiliation with) any corporation or group that is not specifically and prominently linked on www.artomat.org. Whew!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

artists who have a unique vision.
