A one-of-a-kind vending machine was installed in Drake Circus, Plymouth’s biggest shopping centre – stocking poems, plays and pin badges made by local artists. Shoppers were able to buy the single-page poems and plays for just £1, with all proceeds going back to the artists who created them. The poems and plays were carefully packaged in boxes inside the vending machine, with each box containing one of four enamel pin badges inspired by Plymouth landmarks.
By the end of the project … 82 writers had submitted over 350 unique pieces of writing and 850 boxes were sold!
