Long Description:According to a 2006 article in the Washington Post
"http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/09/07/AR2006090701443.html"
target="_blank">(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.""
