VEND-O-TRON in The Railyard Santa Fe at Nuckolls Brewing

 

VEND-O-TRON Lands at Nuckolls Brewing in the Santa Fe Railyard

We've got big news for lovers of strange art, tiny treasures, and fun surprises: VEND-O-TRON has officially arrived at Nuckolls Brewing in the heart of the Santa Fe Railyard.  Thank you Nuckolls for being a world class host! Our newest machine is now living downstairs outside of The Low Bar, ready to dispense weirdness seven days a week. This pink sunset vending machine was painted by owner and artist Artie Mills. 

If you’ve never encountered VEND-O-TRON before, it's a vending machine by artists, collectors, makers, and delightful oddballs. Instead of snacks, you’ll find miniature art, handmade objects, experimental creations, stickers, zines, mystery items, and things that probably shouldn’t exist — but absolutely do. From ceramic wood fired cat figurines to make-your-own friendship bracelets, you will find our items out of this world!

We created VEND-O-TRON to support local artists by giving them a low-barrier platform to share and sell their work. Artists keep their earnings because we don’t charge fees or commissions. Some of an artists biggest pet peeves from gallery gatekeeping to dead vendor fair fees and application drama. Here you will find a direct way for creative New Mexican's to get their work into the hands of curious humanoids. Every purchase helps support real artists in the community while giving shoppers something far more interesting than another mass-produced souvenir.

The new location at Nuckolls Brewing feels like a perfect fit. The Railyard has long been one of Santa Fe’s creative hubs — a place where art, music, nightlife, and culture naturally collide. Tucked downstairs near The Low Bar, the machine feels like a hidden side quest just waiting to be discovered.

Whether you’re heading out for drinks, wandering the Railyard, seeing a movie or intentionally hunting for weird tiny art, stop by and see what’s inside. Inventory changes constantly, so every visit is different. Come press some buttons and see what happens!
