A recently installed vending machine in Terminal B dispenses not food but products made by local artisans. [SouveNEAR](http://souvenear.com/), a new company that seeks out and showcases local artists, curates and sells goods as mementos for travelers. Instead of generic mugs and mass produced t-shirts stamped with a city name, visitors can try locally designed products. Stationary, soaps, artwork and jewelry are some of travel-sized gifts, ranging from $2.50 to $40. Aside from the vending machine in KCI, SouveNEAR goods are also sold at the [Nelson-Atkins Museum Store](https://museumstore.nelson-atkins.org/) in Kansas City, Missouri, and a few locations in Kansas. Due to a great response from consumers, the company hopes to expand to more locations and other cities by summer of 2015. _This_ [_article_](http://www.travelandleisure.com/travel-blog/carry-on/topic/news/kansas-city-airport-sells-local-art-via-vending-machine) _originally appeared on_ [_Travel + Leisure_](http://www.travelandleisure.com/)_._ _More from Travel + Leisure:_ * [Best Places to See the Northern Lights](http://www.travelandleisure.com/articles/best-places-to-see-the-northern-lights?xid=PS%5Ftime) * [America’s Best Small-Town Museums](http://www.travelandleisure.com/articles/americas-best-small-town-museums?xid=PS%5Ftime) * [America’s Coolest Street Art](http://www.travelandleisure.com/articles/americas-coolest-street-art?xid=PS%5Ftime) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3666088/vending-machine-art/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3666088/vending-machine-art/"},"headline":"You Can Now Buy Art From a Vending Machine","datePublished":"2015-01-15T18:26:11.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T08:56:36.213Z","description":"Here's a quick solution if you forgot to pick up a souvenir for your loved one","url":"https://time.com/3666088/vending-machine-art/","keywords":["Living","U.S.","Travel","Missouri","Kansas City","Airport","Travel + Leisure"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt2e418ffe6a7586d2/69877a25cd1bba944a6f4a85/souvenear-kansas-city-art-vending-machine.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan Soll / Travel + Leisure"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt2e418ffe6a7586d2/69877a25cd1bba944a6f4a85/souvenear-kansas-city-art-vending-machine.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"SouveNEAR","caption":"SouveNEAR","creditText":"SouveNEAR","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-living/","name":"Living"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3666088/vending-machine-art/","name":"You Can Now Buy Art From a Vending Machine"}}]}] ```
