THE MOST Cliché SAYING IN THE WORLD

art*o*mat news Thursday, April 21, 2011 THE MOST Cliché SAYING IN THE WORLD How many times have you heard the saying "I've been busy"? This saying has to be the most overused phrase in the cubicle world. However, it is a very mannerly and effective way to convey that a certain task is lower on the old to-do list. FYI...we do not work in cubicles anymore. But, we do miss them on occasions. Anyway, in regard to our updates…we've been busy. ;) Please know that sharing what is happing with the Art-o-mat® project is a priority for us and it has been on our minds. Just, keeping on top of things has us working at capacity. Please forgive us for not touching base over the last few months. Here is what has been happening…… • Even though January has traditionally been a slow time for Art-o-mat®…our Fall/Winter 2010 venues in "Nevada" and the "District of Columbia" are seriously plowing through some art. So, our goal of getting art into people's hands has been bumped up a few notches and our usual winter pr efforts have taken a back seat to packing orders. • Taking the above into account…we have about 5 new venues in the works. Some first encountered Art-o-mat® at the above venues. • New venues that we have either installed and/or are working on…. The Saville Gallery- click here The Esquire Tavern click here The Ritz-Carlton, Charlotte click here The Mulvane Art Museum click here Whole foods Market, Montrose Neighborhood, Houston Tx. Still under construction. click here • Last, we have been attracting more artists and receiving some really nice prototypes. All coming to a machine near you. But, we do need more art. If you are interested in being involved (or know someone who is)…please visit our guidelines. AIC - Guidelines for Artists. click here We also have prototype kits available to help with the formulation of prototypes. These kits contain a full range of the materials that we supply for Art-o-mat®. The kits also include general information, a button, a sticker and a postcard.

You all totally rock.
