Baristart

Art and Coffee challenge

Baristart is a new concept including 3 artists & lots of good coffee

Challenger is an artist & barista in 1 person (jozef barde murcko)painting a theme on a bigger format canvas (150x150cm)

togetherwith another artist.

120 minutes have both artists to finish their paintings while ordersfor coffee drinks (espresso based & alternatives) are being taken

every 5-10 minutes. During these breaks the artist & barista has to prepare a perfect coffee(with 3 judges observing the whole process)

& the 2nd artist has to draw a picture for the same guest.

Music is the last component of baristart. The 3d artist is a musician with special music selection

accompanying the whole event.

After the event both paintings are offered for an auctionin-loco or sold later on via internet.
