What is Art*o*mat®?

What is Art*o*mat®? Created by Clark Whittington in 1997, Art*o*mat® machines are retired cigarette machines that have been converted to VEND ART! For only $5 you can collect paintings, drawings, sculpture, photography, jewelry, glass, mixed media and more -all the size of a pack of cigarettes. There are over 100 active machines in various locations throughout the country. Victoria Brown (that's me), and El Centro de Santa Fe are proud to host the first machine in New Mexico which debuted in February 2013. There are now 8 machines in northern New Mexico (Santa Fe and Albuquerque area). @ARToMatNM on Facebook/Instagram

Range Change and Art*o*matNM Gives Back 2025

Announcing New Art*o*Mat Location:
Range Cafe Wyoming Blvd NE


The only constant is change. The Range Cafe On Central is closing and the building has sold so the “Black Bart” pinstriped Art*o*mat machine has moved to The Range Cafe at 4401 Wyoming Blvd NE in Albuquerque. Open daily for breakfast/brunch/lunch until 3pm. Come by and say hi to Andres and the staff and pick up a piece of original artwork for $5.00.

Art*o*matNM Gives Back 2025




Warm Holiday Wishes from ArtOmatNM. In lieu of paying rent to my NM venues I make an annual donation to their favorite charities to show my appreciation for allowing Art*o*mat to thrive in their spaces. 
In 2025 we gave $800 to worthy causes like Meals on Wheels New Mexico, Felines and Friends, the Balloon Museum Foundation, Esperanza Shelter, and the Española Animal Humane Shelter. Art*o*mat loves to support good works as well as good works of art! Happy holidays, everyone, and thank you for another year of allowing me to offer art accessible to everyone in northern New Mexico.
