Merch Launch with "Brewed Thoughts and Melodies"
May 18, 2023
"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!

BLACK MUSIC MONTH JUNE 2023
May 17, 2023Powered by Entrenuity
Celebrate National Black Music Month with us!
Historic Record Row in Chicago, Illinois, birthed some of the greatest blues and R&B artists of all time during the 60s and 70s. Vee-Jay Records, located at 1449 S Michigan Ave, was the largest, most successful R&B label of its time. Vee-Jay was followed by several other labels at their former location, most notably Brunswick Records, with legendary producer Carl Davis, who brought us Gene Chandler, Major Lance, Jackie Wilson, The Chi-Lites, and Barbara Acklin. As the current home of Entrenuity NFP, hosting Mox.E Coworking and Overflow Coffee, 1449 S Michigan Ave remains a space for Black excellence to prosper. The building rings with the sound of musical greats from the past and fresh new local talent; the walls are covered with the original art of talented local Black artists and photographers, and the cowork space brims with the energy and creativity of Black entrepreneurs. Come check us out!
