A little bit about me:
I run an art vending machine business in Austin, TX called @thosevendingmachines which is a platform for marginalized artists to sell their wares free of fees of commissions! I’m disabled, an Army veteran, a proud mom to 2 autistic kids and I myself am neurodiverse! Hope to meet some cool people here

@bluerazzblowpop this is so freaking cool!! I have family and friends that live in TX, maybe I need to make a trek there soon rather than later, would love to see this in person

@heavenlypins if you are in the US I can tell you if there is one (or more) in your state!

@bluerazzblowpop I'm in Colorado, and my family is in Illinois, would love to know if there's one in either! Come to think of it, I think I've seen a similar vending machine in Alton IL, but not sure if that's part of the same program or how it works tbh, been a minute since I visited home

@heavenlypins I know there is one in Denver and one going up in Boulder, and then of course there is art-o-mat which might be in your city! A lot of the people who run these are in a group on Facebook where we share ideas and even buy products from one another, so they might all seem similar. Ooh! And I know there’s one in the Chicago airport and also the Chicago Cultural Center/ if that helps
