The Cotton Candy Machine is a fine art archival print publisher for select contemporary artists, founded by Tara McPherson and Sean Leonard in 2011.
The Cotton Candy Machine initially began as a gallery and art boutique from 2011 to 2016 in a former fire department in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn, NY, where they held a variety of art exhibitions, workshops, and events by a plethora of contemporary artists, all curated by Tara McPherson. It then transitioned into a thriving online store and print publisher in 2017, and currently as Tara McPherson's official print shop, publishing archival fine art editions, and selling limited edition archival art prints, posters, apparel, books, toys and more.
