The Reveille Café at Fort Worden State Park in Port Townsend, Washington, has deployed a Wild Art Portal vending machine from Raw Art Collective. This machine dispenses miniature prints of artwork from local artists, according to a report by The Leader.
The machine provides 450 works of art on 3 by 4.5-inch cards currently, with more to be added. Customers can purchase the works for four quarters.
Jen Cohen, founder of Raw Art Collective, is encouraging customers to take pictures of the artwork “in the wild” and email it to the business or tag it on Instagram.
“You could compare it to geocaching, in a sense,” Cohen said in the release. “A lot of love went into each piece of art inside this machine, so we’re interested to see how far and wide those works reach.”
