Why I Love Art-o-Mat

I admit I am a bit of an art junkie. That's why I think art-o-mat is so fabulous. For only a few dollars, you can own a mini-masterpiece and become an instant collector. It's truly an innovative way to sell and purchase art.

I can't remember where I first heard of it, but soon after, I tracked one down in Arlington, VA - which is no longer there. Excitedly, I bought 2 tokens at the Ellipse Art Center and after a decidedly long and deliberate process, I chose my new pieces of art. They stayed on my kitchen counter for years till I moved.

• I've also made trips to art-o-mats here in Cleveland and Los Angeles. Why don't you make your own pilgrimage for art and start a collection?
