Coffee Art Project
About Coffee Art Project
The Coffee Art Project is a high profile art competition linked to the theme of Coffee.
Artists at all levels can enter one piece of artwork that connects to ‘coffee’ and/or ‘coffee shop’ experience. There is no restriction on media used; sculpture, painting, installation, photography, and mixed media art works are all eligible and welcome, providing that they have a justifiable link to coffee.
The initiative provides a platform for artists to showcase their work at the London Coffee Festival 2016, while raising valuable funds for Project Waterfall, a charity initiative to deliver clean water and sanitation to coffee growing communities around the globe. The competition has previously taken place in London, Amsterdam, Milan, Paris and New York and we are taking entries for our London 2016 competition. It is completely free to enter and there are also cash prizes to be won! Registration is now open and students can apply through the following link http://coffeeartproject.com/Register/London.aspx
We Aim To
- Support and encourage artists by providing them with a platform to showcase their work

Our Model
The Coffee art Project is a non-profit initiative aimed at encouraging artists by providing them with an open platform to showcase their works.
We are funded by donations, sponsorship and art sales. All works must be for sale in the exhibition(s) and on the Coffee art Project on-line gallery. For each artwork sold, 25% will be given to the artist, 25% will be donated to Project Waterfall and the remaining 50% will be used to fund administration and prizes.
