Art-O-Mat is a company that has been “vending art and culture since 1997.”  The company converts vintage cigarette machines into vending machines that sell small pieces of art for around $5.

From the Art-o-Mat 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.

Wow. That's enjoyable! I like everyday art. And this idea is cool on several counts. They re-use a machine. they are creating an experience - the whole process of engagement with the machine is attractive. WOW!
