More info on the retail name and its meaning to this competition:

The name "Main Street Muse" first highlights the most mutually important aspect to both Pretty Bird Coffee Roasters and AOY Art Center: our little borough. Pretty Bird and AOY are strong pillars of the same community, maintaining tradition while expressing individuality.

The bag will feature a rotating selection of beans, purposefully curated each time with art, history, and creativity at the forefront. The new retail label should excite, delight, and mesmerize just as any muse inspires their artist.

We want the Main Street Muse to inspire others to join in on this community driven effort, to showcase their talents and remind us of all the art inside our everyday cup.

Check out the current designs and order some hand roasted beans at the Pretty Bird website HERE.
