Carson City's BAC celebrates opening of Expresso Yourself Café this Saturday
The Brewery Arts Center in Carson City is holding a grand opening Saturday for its newest endeavor, Expresso Yourself Cafe, an art experience with splashes of inspiration and creativity.
“Expresso Yourself Café is like going over to your best friend’s house,” said Manager, Sarah Morey. “You can get a delicious latte made with love and sit back and visit with your friends, do work on your computer, take one of our exclusive art classes or watch a show on our small stage surrounded by local art available for purchase.”
Expresso Yourself, which is now open ahead of Saturday's festivities, features free wifi, and is the exclusive home of locally made Moondance Chocolates and the works of 15 local visual artists. It is designed to be a place that is encouraged by the white board and chalk board tables, with art supplies readily available for when that inspiration hits.
“It’s open and bright and cute and inviting,” said Deana Hoover, local artist and art instructor at the Brewery Arts Center. Hoover will hold a monthly collage class the first Thursday of each month called "Collage and Cabernet." Attendees will make personalized collages while enjoying conversation and a glass of wine or beer. Visit breweryarts.org to sign up.
Expresso Yourself also has a stage in the back and will host events such as open-mic nights, karaoke, improv and live music. Performers can reach out to the Brewery Arts Center for booking information.
“All of the baristas that work here have years and years of experience,” said Barista Jordan Waller. “All of us focus on consistency and memorizing how our customers like their drinks.”
The grand opening event is open to everyone and will feature samples of the BAC exclusive coffee blend made by Roasting House Coffee in Virginia City. Moondance Chocolates, Honey B’s Baked Goods, and Hors d’oeuvres will also be offered. Raffle tickets will be available for purchase and a silent auction will be held with various items including fine art from local artists.
The grand opening event is this Saturday, Feb. 10 from 5:00 to 6:30 p.m. Expresso Yourself Café is located at 449 West King Street on the corner of King and Division.
Expresso Yourself Cafe is open Monday - Saturday 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. while staying open late for Saturday events.
