"Brewed Thoughts and Melodies," hosted recently at Overflow Coffee in collaboration with Entrenuity and Columbia College, included a panel discussion, photo installation, and merch launch. The panel discussion, led by Overflow Assistant General Manager Josh Magee, reflected on coffee, the background of the beans used at our shop, and the intersection of art, community, & coffee. The event included the launch of our new merch with a photo installation prepared by Columbia College Artists & Producers. The Columbia team also launched "The Overflow Sessions," a Lo-Fi Hip Hop/R&B project incorporating the sounds & background noise of Overflow Coffee as well as the history of the space through podcast form.
It's been inspiring to work with the talented students from Columbia College and to experience the positive feedback from the community regarding our arts related events. We continually hear, "Overflow is a safe, inclusive space for all ages." We are proud to foster a sense of community where people feel safe and welcomed!
