Live Art Series: I Heart Coffee

Humans have been telling stories over coffee for over 500 years. We hope to honor that tradition by inviting some of our favorite local coffee professionals to share their stories with us. How did they get started? What is their process? What is the craziest thing they’ve done for the love of coffee? These are just some of the questions they may answer in front of our coffee-crazy crowd.

Our lineup of coffee pros includes:

• Eric Andersen (FreshGround, Geneva)
• Dan Colbert (Zoom Doggy, North Aurora)
• Marcus and Jenni Contaldo (Modest, West Chicago)
• Chad Dawes (Tredwell, Aurora)
• Sarah Harms (Kindred, West Chicago)
• Leah Leman and Joy Mason (Limestone, Batavia)
• Pete Leonard (I Have A Bean, Wheaton)
• Cody Lorance (Endiro, Aurora)

We have encouraged them to bring items for sale, such as beans, shirts, mugs, etc., so be prepared to stock up on some sweet coffee swag.

Seating is limited to 70.

Enjoy a cash bar featuring beverages provided by Solemn Oath Brewery and Whiskey Acres Distilling Co.

Thank you to our Event Sponsors: Batavia Arts Council, K.Hollis Jewelers, and BEI Properties.
