Catching up on your writing, and love this reminder of the art-o-mats! We were living near Winston-Salem when they first started appearing. What a joyful and creative repurposing.
What a brilliant recycling idea! My grandfather was a tobacco farmer and was an auctioneer for tobacco sales. I think of him when I see old green tobacco barn. He would entertain us grands with his auction voice. 😊
Jenny! I love your insight, and appreciate our shared history of that weird period of time when smoking was viewed differently. I proposed art vending machines like this when I worked with the UMAR arts program, but perhaps it was just not the time of it, as my idea was, well, ignored. I love the concept of taking something "old" and making it new, as that is really what my whole life and whole ministry is about now! Thanks for sharing!

That would have been perfect outside the Art on Main building with their pieces of art!!! And love seeing your journey.
