Coffee Art is from Duluth, MN and this will be their third time at Norsk Høstfest, where they find the music, artisans, and visitors inspirational.

Their work is so impressive that they’ve even done paintings for Starbucks, Jägermeister, Italian Coffee Association (traveled to Italy and various other places to display their artwork).
