Calling all young artists, creators, and future entrepreneurs! Join us this fall for a unique hands-on workshop where creativity meets business.
Participants will get a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to run a successful coffee shop, from creating products customers love to understanding how businesses make a profit. Youth will learn about entrepreneurship, pricing products, marketing, customer experience, and the day-to-day operations of a small business.
Then it's time to get creative! Participants will design custom coffee cup sleeves that could be featured on cups served throughout the community this fall. With the support of local business owners and community partners, selected designs may be professionally printed and used in the coffee shop, giving youth the exciting opportunity to see their artwork in the hands of real customers.
This workshop combines art, business, and community engagement while helping youth build creativity, problem-solving skills, and an entrepreneurial mindset.

What: Coffee Sleeve Design & Entrepreneurship Workshop
When: November 21, 2026, at 2:00 p.m.
