Art in every cup
Abigail Seiler, Visual Arts Editor
Greenville, South Carolina, is a city filled with local coffee shops, each bringing its own unique atmosphere and community to the area. Each area of town that you visit has its own local coffee shop that are frequented by everyone from college students to businessmen. These shops take great pride in the quality of their drinks, and so, the baristas have all mastered the skill of latte art.
A popular shop with North Greenville University students, Bridge City, hosted a latte art throw down on Oct 1, bringing together many baristas from surrounding shops. This gave the baristas a chance to compete with each other, showcase their skills and put their latte art to the test as they competed for the title of best art.
