Mini-print vending machine arrives downtown

Jacksonville has a new little art stop worth checking out. A mini print vending machine has been installed at MOCA, and the idea is simple: drop in a dollar and get a collectible surprise featuring Jax-inspired art. Kanesha Boyette, the artist behind it says this is the second machine, with the first one at Visit Jacksonville. The two spots work like a little trail — one gives you an introduction to Jacksonville, and the other leans into the city’s history, landmarks, and familiar views. The prints include things locals will recognize right away, like the Skyway, the St. James's building, the arches above City Hall, the CSX train, Lift Every Voice Park, and the Jax Beach water tower. The artist said the whole collection is meant to feel like “for locals, by a local.”
