FAQ
About BEWM Coffee
Who is BEWM?
BEWM was an 18-year-old street artist whose work covered walls across Austin with raw, vibrant energy. He passed away in 2023, but what made him special wasn't just his art, it was his love for the art community and his tireless support of other artists. BEWM Coffee was created by his friends, mentors, and the Austin street art community to honor his memory by supporting living artists.
How did BEWM Coffee start?
After BEWM's death, the Austin street art community came together to figure out how to honor him properly. Memorial murals went up across the city, including a special piece at Cosmic Saltillo. The community held BEWM for the People events on his birthday in 2024 and 2025, sponsored by Something Good Initiative. But people kept asking: What can we build that lasts? What honors him while actually supporting living artists?
BEWM Coffee is the answer, a coffee business bringing original artist collaborations and community together.
What makes BEWM Coffee different?
Canvas Series pairs coffee with original artist-designed packaging and a collectible pack. Each drop is a way to discover an artist and add to your collection.

Artists & Community
How do you choose which artists to collaborate with?
We're looking for emerging artists with raw creativity and authentic voices. Artists who are hustling, creating, and haven't had significant commercial breaks yet.
The first collaborations feature New York and Austin-based street artists; people who knew BEWM, painted alongside him, and understand what his work meant to the community. We're expanding to artists nationwide as we grow.
Can I apply to be a Canvas Series artist?
Yes! If you’re making art with soul, we want to see it. Shoot your portfolio and a short intro to will@bewmcoffee.com.
- We vibe with:
• Authentic voices
• Artists that like to get up
• Pieces that live loud on packaging
• Artists who live and breathe street culture and want their work in people’s hands, not on a hard drive
What is in it for the artists?
Canvas Series introduces the artists behind each collaboration through their packaging, profiles and collectible artwork. Our goal is to celebrate their work and connect them with people who enjoy it.
Interested in collaborating? Send your portfolio and a short introduction to will@bewmcoffee.com.

What are BEWM for the People events?
BEWM for the People is our annual gathering on BEWM’s birthday (August 31) where the community comes together to celebrate his life and the impact he left behind. The first event was in 2024, and the second in 2025 drew our biggest crowd yet.
People tell stories, make art, share food, and hold space for each other. It’s raw, real, beautiful, and healing. A reminder of why this movement exists in the first place. These events are supported by Something Good Initiative.
We’re also always looking to be part of events that align with our mission and our belief that art fuels healing. If you’re hosting something creative, community-driven, or you’re building a space where people who feel alone can show up and be surrounded by good, friendly humans, we want to hear about it and/or be a part of it.
