StoryBridge Mystery Prints
Art, discovery and global connection—one tiny treasure at a time.

More Than a Vending Machine
Created by StoryBridge founder Kristina Applegate, the Mystery Prints project turns an ordinary purchase into a moment of surprise, conversation and connection.
Each machine helps share the StoryBridge story beyond the website—inviting people of all ages to encounter art, ask questions and learn how creativity can build bridges between communities.
