| Welcome Santa Fe's very first Art*o*mat®! (we call her MAThilda) |
WELCOME Art*o*mat® LOVERS and thank you for visiting my new blogspot! My name is Victoria and I'm super excited to introduce you to my new
Art*o*mat® art vending machine, the very first in Santa Fe, New Mexico (yes, it IS in America: it's NOT Mexico, and it's NOT New). "Her" (she's totally feminine -just look at her!) name is "MAThilda" and she will be making her debut on
Feb. 16th, 2013 1-5pm one block from
The Plaza, at
El Centro De Santa Fe, 102 E. Water Street, Santa Fe, NM 87501.
You're all invited to stop by and meet MAThilda, her artist/creator,
Clark Whittington, and Corky and I. Local artists who are interested in
creating art for Art*o*mat® are encouraged to come by and hear all about submission guidelines for the cigarette-box-sized art from Clark. We'll be there from 1-5pm and we'll have some special treats and refreshments so please come by and grab a hot piece of $5.00 art from the hot new chick in town, MAThilda! Check out this
article about it in the Santa Fe Reporter.

Back in March, during
Our Epic Art*o*mat® Roadtrip, I got to meet the old cigarette vending machine that was to become the glorious MAThilda after a few short months of hard work and magical transformation by
Clark Whittington and his talented team of artists.
