WHY COFFEE ART MARATHON PROJECT?
COP28 aims to address global climate issues and advance environmental sustainability. To promote it through a sustainable medium like coffee, and organizing eco-friendly coffee events, is one of the important goals of Art4you Gallery interpreting the needed climate actions.
Sustainably sourced Coffee is an environment friendly medium. So, this event is organised by Jesno Jackson aiming at creating awareness using Coffee. Bringing in a community of artists to encourage environmentally conscious practices and promote sustainability in line with COP28. This creative project is designed to be a package with a wide range of community engagement events that connects art and culture with a focus on Sustainable development goals about Coffee Art & Coffee Practices for artist communities, and current art market.
ART OF COFFEE!
In the pursuit of sustainability SDG's and COP28 & promoting coffee painting as a unique and creative art form, the Founder and Art Curator Jesno Jackson has discovered ways on how an artist can be sustainable through his or her art in the present era, with a mission of sustainable future.
OUR MOTTO: Drink Coffee, Paint Coffee, Smell Coffee.
This project will produce live events, artworks, articles, videos, informational guide (eBook) and social media materials for the public to learn more about the art of coffee painting.
THEME:
"SUSTAINABILITY - COFFEE AS A WAY OF EXPRESSION"
Let's take action to bring the SDGs through ARTS with Sustainability through Coffee.
Sustainability is one of the critical concerns in the coffee industry. Art4you Gallery during #COP28 will be bringing this unique experience that brings together art and environment. This mega event connects different COFFEE BRAND to emphasize the best art practices with creatives to raise awareness and make positive impact on our planet.
We start this Art Marathon Journey in 2023 and will continue every year with group of creatives, artists, coffee brands, café, women, entrepreneurs, community builders, art enthusiasts, professionals, environmentalists, cultural and heritage communities and people, etc... and continue the journey of THE ROAD to COFFEE CREATIVE CHALLENGE globally.
OUR MASCOT:
BEAN BARISTA is the mascot of the Coffee Art Marathon. Decided unanimously, it will represent UAE hospitality while surfacing in contemporary avatars that engage with individuals. A Bean Barista is a person who serves coffee while dressed traditionally. Customers are left with an impression of warmth and old-world charm despite the sophisticated environment of UAE coffee culture.
The Bean Barista stands for the link between the established system and the burgeoning business world.
The function of Bean Barista extends beyond that of a display. A sign of knowledge and direction - that reminds people of coffee's significant effects on the cultural, economic, and environmental facets of society. The Mascot acts as a unifying emblem for all attendees and symbolizes the enthusiasm and commitment of coffee experts around the world. In conclusion, Bean Barista personifies the collaborative attitude of the coffee industry as the Mascot of the Coffee Art Marathon.

Review about the Coffee Art Marathon!
The Coffee Art Marathon was an incredible journey for me as an artist. It allowed me to explore meaningful themes and ideas using coffee as a sustainable medium. Through this platform, I was able to express my views on spreading environmental awareness. It demonstrated the power of creativity in promoting sustainability and the importance of using art as a tool for positive change.
Participating in the Coffee Art Marathon was a delightful experience it sparked a newfound passion within me, leading me to explore Coffee Bean Art. I have infused my own signature style of textures with Coffee beans. During the longest live painting with Coffee, I represented Pakistan highlighting and showcasing famous Pakistani landmarks and intricate Truck art, making it a record was very rewarding.
Coffee Art Marathon participation was a delightful aromatic journey into creativity. I found mesmerized by coffee as a medium of art and therapy for my mood to be more creative. Thanks to Art4you Gallery & Jesno for organizing this mega event. I t was a huge celebration of art and coffee.
Thank you very much for the interesting and unique event. I was so glad to be a part of the 'Cultural Art Walk' with Russian Cultural Costume and represent Russia. Thanks for arranging this Coffee Art Marathon
Being the contributor to recycled Coffee Jar Art, sharing my experience at the Café Talk at Coffee Art Marathon, on the topic ‘Reusing Coffee Jars’ was truly fulfilling. As an Art Educator & activist, it reinforced the urgency for more sustainable solutions. It's inspiring to see how creativity can transform waste into beautiful, impactful pieces, promoting environmental and cultural awareness through art.
