Friday October 18th from 6-8pm
The Bay City Arts Center has an exciting new arrival! In the foyer of the BCAC, you will discover a carefully curated collection of locally made art, jewelry, stickers, keychains, games, novelties and fun mystery items– all inside a machine that once sold potato chips and candy bars. The outside was painted by Garibaldi artist Bryan Miller, and features a technicolored set of tentacles. It’s one of the Rainy Day Fun Machines, a creative vending machine project based on the North Oregon coast.
Moving a vending machine is no small feat! Celebrate the successful installation of the Rainy Day Fun Machine at the launch party on Friday, October 18 from 6-8PM. Artists and makers connected to the machine will be present with their larger-sized pieces. There will also be a DIY button-making station and free tarot readings! This event is free and open to the public; donations to the Bay City Arts Center are always appreciated.
If you are a creator of small, non-breakable treasures and you would like to be considered for inclusion in the Rainy Day Fun Machine, please contact Julie Maxfield at rainydayfunmachines@gmail.com.
