Jeff and Barbara Black, Chef/Owners of the newly opened Pearl Dive Oyster Palace and Black Jack restaurants, are pleased to announce a meet and greet with Art-O-Mat Creator Clark Whittington, which is open to the public. Whittington will be at Black Jack to discuss his concept and answer questions about his organization, Artists in Cellophane.

Black Jack is home to one of the two Art-O-Mat machines in Washington, DC. There are 99 Art-O-Mats in the United States, which sell original works of art for $5 a piece.

Art-o-mat has always been focused on supporting local artists. Participating Washington area artists include Georgina Goodlander; Jodi Hoover; Alyssa Salomon; Sarah Aitken; Catherine Bohrman and Julie Ann Pelletier.
