The Art-o-mat in Milwaukee is an art installation and interactive exhibit that used to be a retro cigarette vending machine, but now it's an art dispenser.

MILWAUKEE, Wisc. — The Art-o-mat is a retired cigarette vending machine that dispenses art. For just $5, people can get a print, painting, jewelry, statue, and so much more.

The first Art-o-matt was built by Clark Whittington in 1997. He refurbished an old cigarette vending machine after it became more or less illegal. He displayed it at an art exhibition, and it became a huge hit. Now, he leases them out to galleries, libraries, and hotels. “It’s so unique. It’s so different. I’ve never seen anything like this," Kami Strunsee, an artist and owner of Timber Lane Studio and Gallery in Wales said.
