Who We Are:
CAFfeine (Contemporary Art Forum) is a group of like-minded professional artists dedicated to actively engaging each other and the community in ongoing exploration and development of contemporary artistic themes and ideas.

Our Mission:
To be a catalyst for the positive growth of contemporary visual arts by creating mutually beneficial opportunities for education and interaction between artists, businesses and the community at large.

Artists:
An important component of positive growth is the opportunity for artists to interact with, teach, and inspire one another. CAFfeine is committed to opening dialogue between artists by sponsoring exhibitions, critique circles, artist discussions, field trips and collaborations between working artists. These activities enrich and enhance the artists’ work and enable them to create pieces of significance.

Businesses:
CAFfeine engages the business community by creating mutually beneficial partnerships between artists and established businesses in the form of advertising and event sponsorship opportunities. This helps the artists by allowing their work to be seen, but also benefits the businesses because they can use the events as a marketing opportunity to make a connection with the patron base that will also support their companies.

The Community:
CAFfeine events are opportunities for people in the community to connect in a meaningful way with the artists, allowing them to develop a better understanding of the processes used to make art and the meaning and intention behind the art. This leads to greater appreciation of the work and the development of a collector base. Many people are intimidated by art. CAFfeine seeks to demystify the process and engage people in a manner that makes art enjoyable for all.

CAFfeine gets contemporary art in front of the community by utilizing both traditional and non-traditional exhibition outlets to increase exposure, by making our website a centralized place for the community to learn more about the artists and their work, by creating open forums for discussion about works on display, and by partnering with local government and other arts organizations to increase awareness and appreciation of the arts in general.
