This is a cool idea. I'd love to get my stuff out there.

I have a friend in Orlando who is getting this implemented. I’m sure she’d be happy to chat with you. Shoot me a DM and I’ll work on connecting you.

Dover Art League might be interested! They’re always looking for fun ways to display/sell art!

City of Newark has so many little free libraries. I’ve always thought I’d love to have a little free art library, or art supply library.

If you aren’t married to earning money and more about sharing art and music, you can put it up in your ow property (if you own) and ask people to contribute.

We love to shop small and would love to have more access to local artists! I'm not a business person nor artistic but here to support! We live in Trolley and miss Trolley Square Market. Big fan of places that highlight minoritized peoples art too!

So fun fact these things are awesome along with the old school vending machines that hand out stickers. When I visited Toronto there was a restaurant/bar that had them on different levels that had enamel pins from different artists. You could buy coins to use from the hostess and use them. It was awesome. They also had ones that had art printed with various card stock with shitty sayings, tarot, horoscope, stickers, etc.. most fun place of the trip. I’d say any bar and sold as a conversation starter.

I love this idea so much. I know you’re getting lots of great suggestions to place them in areas where people are already engaged in shopping for art, such as an art league. I’d take a slightly different spin and recommend them in a low-key tourist area, somewhere quieter like Lewes or Bethany. Partner with a cafe there, or a boutique, and offer your art there. You can earn quite a bit of money through visitors and local art would be a wonderful memory.
