art*o*mat news Monday, July 25, 2011 First Art-o-mat® machine in Iowa! On July 14th, the Corner House Gallery (Cedar Rapids) became the first Art-o-mat® host in Iowa. The machine was well received ...selling about 100 works at the opening. Iowa artist "Kettle" gave away a "golden" Art-o-mat piece. The lucky patron won a larger work. Iowa artist Ruth Ipsan-Brown also came out to the opening. Here is a nice story by the Des Moine Register that pretty much covers it…..

We now have a second Art-o-mat® in Houston, TX. Our host will be the new Whole Foods Market in the Montrose neighborhood. The machine was designed with items from the bulk bins from our local WFM. Here is a nice spot by channel 39….. Local Art Embraced At The New Whole Foods Market Diverseworks is our long time Houston host. Diverseworks. click here We also have another new host in Texas. The Esquire Tavern in San Antonio….which is the oldest bar on the Riverwalk. Esquire. click here Anyway, all eight of our Texas venues are interested in having local artists in their machines. We often hear that this artist/that artist wants to make Art-o-mat® work. But, there is a good chance that "We've howdyed but we ain't shook"….aka: we haven't been formally introduced. So, if you know of any artists who are interested in being involved, please send them our way. Artist Guidelines. click here Thanks!
