If you’re someone who loves both art and the thrill of the ride, buckle up because we certainly have a treat for you! We have a new art exhibit cruising into Vienna Coffee House. Mark your calendars for the 12th Annual Arts of Vienna Fine Art Competition. This year's theme:

Sweet Rides

The Art of Transportation

from September 6 to November 15

Artists were encouraged to let their imagination take the wheel (pun intended). Our Coffee House walls are adorned with a variety of artworks inspired by the art of transportation, whether it be boat, plane, train, car…or perhaps, unicorn? The possibilities are endless. No mode of transportation is off-limits—if it moves, it’s fair game.

Featuring a variety of mediums including paintings, mixed media, and photography, every work is crafted by the brilliant minds of multiple local artists who know how to bring motion to the canvas. To further the experience, every so often a recognition ceremony for the artists is held and the winners are highlighted from each category. While there is not a competition for every exhibit, this one has been the deemed one of the special occasions.

So be sure to take a detour to the Coffee House and immerse yourself in the talent being showcased around you. Each artwork includes details like the artist’s name, medium, contact information, and pricing. If a piece catches your eye and you're interested in taking it for a spin (or at least hanging it on your wall), feel free to reach out.

At Vienna Coffee Company…

We remain committed to our mission to provide craft coffee that enriches the lives of customer and producers alike by providing an experience grounded in excellence and hospitality. Part of this mission encompasses a vision to remain committed to community involvement that embraces/celebrates the distinctiveness of the locales where we operate.

Our Arts of Vienna program is one way that we celebrate the enormously talented people living in the community surrounding our home-base/hometown of Maryville, Tennessee. We are humbled and thankful that they lend the fruits of their talent to dress up the walls of the Coffee House.

In addition to our fine art exhibits, please explore our complete line of coffees online or stop by the Coffee House and let our baristas do the brewing for you. We hope that exploring what we offer (whether its organic, single-origin, a VCC custom blend or your favorite flavored coffee) continues your journey in discovering that “Great Coffee is an Adventure”.
