I've been invited to an Art-O-Mat Art Swap (open to the public) being held at the Chambers Hotel in Minneapolis, MN on Saturday, April 17th. The event is from 1pm til 4:30pm. I'll be there with many other local and regional "Artists In Cellophane", displaying/selling the tiny artworks we make for the Art-O-Mat machines (re-purposed old cigarette machines) and a few other larger works (whatever I can fit in my car). If you're in the area, stop by and check it out! A little about what this project is all about, here's some info from the ArtOMat.org website:
"What is an Art-o-mat?
Art-o-mat machines are retired cigarette vending machines that have been converted to vend art. There are 82 active machines in various locations throughout the country."
"What do you get from an Art-o-mat?
The experience of pulling the knob alone is quite a thrill, but you also walk away with an original work of art. What an easy way to become an art collector."
"Want to be an Artomat artist?
There are around 400 contributing artists from 10 different countries currently involved in the Art*o*mat project. We are always searching for fresh work."

See you there!
