"Tenleytown Whole Foods Market Art*o*mat - Washington, D.C." Waymark

Long Description:
According to a 2006 article in the Washington Post (visit link): "The machine will be stocked with works by local Whole Foods employees, many of whom moonlight as artists. Pieces cost $5 each, a sum that is split among the artist, Art-o-Mat and Whole Foods, which donates its portion to a local nonprofit group. "If you think of all the time I put into these blocks, the money is not worth it," says Emily Johnston, an employee at the Gaithersburg grocery, who is painting miniature still lifes of fruits and vegetables for the machine. "I'm doing it for advertising purposes -- I want people to see my work and be curious about it.""
