As his exhibit time finished he was set to dismantle it, however cafe owner Cynthia Giles liked the concept so much she asked it to remain. With her help Whittington began soliciting input and projects from other artists. Today there are 82 machines throughout the United States , and over 400 artists from 10 different countries participating to the project. To this day, the original Art-o-mat machine is at the same cafe, now called Mary's Of Course. In January 2006, Art-o-mat will install its first international machine in The Gallery on the Green in Surrey, England. Machines are set to sell pieces for $5.00 to $7.00. The forms of art vary greatly and can include anything from original paintings or Pastel sketches to homemade Earring s to abstract metal works. Each has the overall stored dimension of approximately one pack of cigarettes (2 1/8" x 3 1/4" x 7/8") Some states have only one or two machines, such as Ohio and Florida , respectively. Whittington's home state of North Carolina has the most, at 24. EXTERNAL LINKS
