Painting Exhibition by Steven Weinberg (Park Slope)


Artist Steven Weinberg just returned from Colombia where he had the great opportunity to stay with some of the farmers in Gigante who produce the coffees we buy and you drink. During his stay, he painted landscapes of the places he visited and portraits of the people he met.
 
We are really excited to be able to share this work with you. Come in for a coffee and check out paintings of where the coffee you are drinking came from!
 
Steven and his traveling/writing partner Casey currently reside in Park Slope. They are the co-founders of Local Language Literacy and have worked on numerous publications together. For more information, please visit their website here.
 
Join us for an artist’s reception on Thursday, August 11th at 6:30pm. The show runs throughout August.

July’s Art Exhibitions

This month, we have three new exhibitions on display for you to view during your coffee breaks.
 
In Greenpoint: Jody Erickson’s paintings are a haunting series of work; featuring spellbound figures, dreamy landscapes, candles in the night, leopards, historical figures like Evelyn Nesbit and more. Jody specializes in oil paint on wood and canvas. She lives in Greenpoint, Brooklyn (via the southern art collective and community of Winston-Salem, NC) where she painted for many years. Jody strives for tranquillity and sincerity in her work and a sense of mystery in the simple beauty of nature. For more information, visit her website here.
 
In Park Slope: New photographs by Aken Wahl entitled “Karkaaminen” (Finnish for “jailbreak”).
 
In Chelsea: WC (William Cody) Bevan was born in north east Ohio. He started drawing at a young age and after graduating from high school, he moved to Memphis Tennessee. He left Memphis after a seven year music binge to pursue working on his art in New York City where he currently resides. WC is a self-taught artist who enjoys collecting prints of Malcolm X and Dr Martin Luther King. View some of William’s work here.

Santa Teresa

“Blind Assessment: A deep, rich, intense acidity dominates the profile. Complex lemon-and-orange citrus, fresh-cut fir, ripe tomato in aroma and cup. Impressively rich, syrupy mouthfeel. Clean, dry finish.
Who Should Drink It: Those who enjoy grandly acidy, big-bodied medium-roasted coffees.”
-Kenneth Davids, Coffee Review, August 2011
 
Baker’s chocolate, Meyer lemon, tamarind, cantaloupe.
 
Caturra and Yellow Catuai varietals. Grown at 1250-1480 masl on 12 hectares. Washed. Shipped in GrainPro.

Some Like it Cold (Brewed): 5 Cool Coffee Methods

“At New York’s Cafe Grumpy, seasonal coffees that have proven to taste great cold are selected throughout the warmer months, says co-owner Caroline Bell. Currently on slow drip is El Limonar, from Huehuetenango, Guatemala, a tangy, super-clean tasting brew of this citrusy, slightly cocoa coffee. And the Filtron’s super-smooth and balanced brew goes perfectly well with a little milk without diminishing any of the coffee’s flavor.”
