Purchase Art at the Touch of a Button
After being awarded the Mini Place-making Grant from the West Palm Beach Downtown Development Authority, entrepreneur Meghan McKenna purchased a refurbished 2000s style vending machine– but she didn’t fill it with chips and drinks. Instead, Flamango Vending stocks small pieces of affordable art by Palm Beach County artists, including prints, stickers, canvases, key-chains, stationary, original 5×7-insh art works, embroidered hats, jewelry, and even tiny easels.
“The art and the artists will be on constant rotation, and it’s up to the artists what they will create,” McKenna says. The machine debuted at Clematis by Night in February, and has since made stops at Garden District Taproom, SunFest, and CityPlace. Visit the machine’s Instagram @flamangovending, to learn more.
