Remember I told you about Cindy Ingram’s Art Class Curator workshops? She’s hosting the Curated Connections Workshop a FREE online training, starting August 8th. She’s sharing some of her favorite tips and techniques.
This reminded me of the National Art Ed Conference this year, when Cindy, Phyl, Misty Bear and I went to the Boston Museum of Fine Arts one afternoon. I have been meaning to write all kinds of blog posts in our break from school, but wow, this summer is just slipping away from me!

You may be wondering about the title of this blog post and what the heck is an Art-o-Mat?? A little treasure we discovered at the museum was one of the Art-o-Mat vending machines.
What is an Art-o-Mat? It is a retired cigarette vending machine that is now filled with artwork. Each little box costs $5. Of course, we had to buy some.
The little boxes each had a miniature work of art. Here are some of them. Buying them is fun…. and addictive!
Of course, we saw lots of amazing artwork there. They had an exhibit about Frida Kahlo and her influences.
In my next post, I will give you some great back-to-school ideas! Because that time will soon be here!
What a fabulous museum experience!
