Artscene

Vend your art for less

HUDDERSFIELD IS ONE of only four galleries in the country to boast an "Art Vending Machine", but within two months of being installed the success of the device ("pay two quid, get a unique work of art...") has led to a problem. They're running out of art!
"We'd like to re-stock the machine using work by regional artists," said a spokesperson for Huddersfield's The Culture Company, "instead of just taking the work offered by the suppliers, Hayvend."
So if you're an artist (or you know an artist) who'd like to subvert the consumer culture, to fill the would with beautiful things, or just to indulge a hungry ego, here's what you do.
Do it now, and if your idea's accepted let us know what it is. If we can reproduce it, we'll gladly give you some extra coverage...
