Artful Blend 

High Grounds Coffee Roasters

From his post at the counter of tiny High Grounds Coffee Roasters (3201 Eastern Ave.; 410-215-9202; www.highgroundscoffee.com) across the street from the Creative Alliance, artisan coffee roaster Brett Bixler could see the lengths to which his customers were going to promote their art. So Bixler launched the Baltimore Artist Blend, a "medium to dark-roast blend designed to bring creativity, passion, and inspiration to your daily life." The beans come in a 12-ounce bag emblazoned with an image of work by a local artist. So far twenty artists have been profiled, including Annapolis plein air painter David Diaz and MICA grad Thomas Wilson LaGrange. Bixler is always looking for more; to suggest an artist (or yourself), e-mail high.grounds@yahoo.com.
