We think Good Things Vending machines are really cool! They are full of original art, and they are placed in relevant locations all around the Chicago area! I think this type of machine should be all over the country! What do you think?

One really exciting little feature of the new Good Things Vending website is this page where you can apply to become a Good Things artist! I think this is a fantastic way to spread your work around without having to deal with a traditional gallery and without having to constantly hawk your artwork live on the internet or IRL shows. 
More about Good Things Vending:

Good Things Vending started as a revolutionary idea to bring art, creativity, and inspiration to unexpected places. Born out of a desire to challenge the traditional notion of vending machines, Good Things Vending transformed these everyday objects into vibrant showcases of independent art, handmade goods, and unique creations. Since its inception, the concept has gained traction, becoming a beloved outlet for artists and a delightful discovery for passersby.

From the beginning, Good Things Vending has prioritized featuring independent artists. These machines are not just about snacks or trinkets; they are curated micro-galleries filled with prints, stickers, zines, and other artistic treasures. By giving artists a platform, Good Things Vending ensures that creativity meets a wider audience—often in places where one might least expect it, such as coffee shops, libraries, and community centers. This innovative approach has opened up new opportunities for artists to share their work outside the confines of galleries or online marketplaces.

For artists, being featured in a Good Things Vending machine offers numerous benefits. First and foremost, it provides exposure. By placing art in high-traffic, everyday locations, artists reach audiences who may not frequent traditional art spaces. This accessibility allows for organic discovery and the chance to connect with people who might become loyal supporters.

Additionally, Good Things Vending handles much of the logistics—including stocking, sales, and promotion—allowing artists to focus on creating. It also fosters a sense of community, connecting artists with like-minded creatives and supporters who value independent work. Finally, it creates passive income opportunities, as artists earn from each item sold while their work continues to inspire.

In essence, Good Things Vending transforms vending machines into creative ambassadors, offering artists a chance to shine in unexpected places and enriching the public’s day with delightful artistic surprises.
