Many coffee shops incorporate art within the restaurant. Some places allow artists to sell their art or just let them show it off by displaying artwork on the walls. In this day and age, we tend to associate coffee with art.
Starbucks, the nations leading coffee power has recently started a contest that takes coffee and art to the next step. Baristas have the chance to compete by decorating cups with their own hand drawn art. Now, we may start seeing a trend with artwork on what was once a plain white cup. Starbucks has narrowed it down to a few contestants left. Here is their artwork:
Lauren, District Columbia
Kerry, Illinois
Shelby, Michigan
Benjamin, Texas
Jeremiah, California
Brynn, Washington
Brandon, New Mexico
