The initiative aims to promote area artists through an accessible, interactive platform and provide an opportunity for residents and visitors to experience and collect local art.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong>Read more:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/herndon-mosaic-artist\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Piece by Piece, this Herndon Artist Makes her Mark<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>The coin-operated machine takes four quarters to vend a one-of-a-kind art piece. \u201cFor just one dollar, you receive a small art print,\u00a0 which could make a big impact.

Image courtesy of Ash Smith.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The series of work in this debut collection is called \u201cGhost Occupations\u201d and features nine different ghost-centric artworks. \u201cWithin my art, I love sharing stories of the mundane mixed with the magical or spooky. Drawing ghosts started as a way to represent myself without a gendered lens but became a way to connect shared experiences with a wide audience,\u201d Ash said. \u201cFor the vending machine project, I was excited about the collectible aspect \u2014 I wanted to create art that people would want to collect as a complete set. I also wanted to represent occupations found in businesses and venues throughout Old Town Fairfax. So \u2018Ghost Occupations\u2019 felt like the perfect fit for this project. As a GMU student, Fairfax Old Town became a comfort away from home and I was excited to represent it in this small way.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong>See more:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/cars-and-coffee-a-weekend-tradition-northern-virginia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cars and Coffee: A Weekend Tradition Throughout Northern Virginia<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>The machine debuted at the Fairfax Fall Festival and will be at Commonwealth Brewing Company, located at 10426 Main Street in Fairfax, from October 16th onward, for a limited, to-be-determined time.
