Thank you for your interest in participating in the Tiny Art Vending Machine at Escape Room Wisconsin and Lumberjack Johnny’s. This is an art-first, community-focused project designed to make original art accessible, surprising, and fun while giving artists a low-pressure way to share and sell their work.

​

What This Is

A super fun vending machine stocked with original, small-format artwork created by local artists. Guests purchase art for a flat price and receive a surprise piece. It’s like a tiny gallery visit in a bar. This is not mass-produced merchandise. This is real art, just smaller.

​

Pricing & Payment

• $5 - $10 per vend

• 60% artist / 40% program split

• Artists are paid monthly

• Payments will be made check

​

Artist Participation

• Artists are featured in rotating monthly drops

• Typical contribution: 10–25 pieces

• Unsold work can be:

  • Returned to the artist

  • Rolled into a future month

  • Donated to a local organization (artist choice)

​

Participation is flexible and meant to be accessible.

If it’s creative, original, and fits the machine… we’re interested!

Size & Packaging Requirements

To keep the machine running smoothly, all pieces must:

• Fit within the machine’s size limits (exact dimensions will be provided)
