Camarada Revives the (almost) lost tradition of:

Mail Art!


Objects d’Art are being sent by aficionados, ranging from postcard-sized sketches to actual coffee cups, and other coffee related subjects - mailed sans envelope - with the good-natured support of our local post offices. See a sampling of the mail art we have received below.

At the concert you can browse a stimulating display of coffee-themed mail art - sip and enjoy a gourmet java tasting. And, find out if coffee is really “more delicious than a thousand kisses.”
