  1. Fellow Ben Johnson: Do Your Holiday Shopping at CreateHere Friday, December 11, 2009

    “Reminds me of the stories my Granpappy would tell me of that gold rush out there in California.”

    That’s what longtime Southside resident Walt McClure says about all the people streaming in to CreateHere to buy Art-o-mat pieces. The Art-o-mat is an old cigarette machine, re-purposed to sell small pieces of original artwork. Showcased in five countries, and displaying art from all over the world, the Art-o-mat is a great way to get original pieces of hand-made art as varied and unique as the artists who produce them.

    While many of you have purchased a piece or two from our machine in the past, you may not have known that you could share it with your friends. As you come in to CreateHere to stock up on art for yourself, consider purchasing some gift tokens for your friends. At five dollars, they are an inexpensive and unique way to show people how much you appreciate them. “I went in and bought me one for each of my granddaughters,” remarks Walt, “with the way things are lookin’, I betcha there won’t be many left.”
