 Science Cafe :: Art Cafe :: Recreation Cafe :: History Cafe

Beet Street’s Culture Cafes connect our local community’s experts with the general public for an informative and engaging presentation every Wednesday. Cafes take place on Wednesday evenings at a downtown restaurant over dinner and drinks, and are informal and accessible – much more interactive than just a public lecture or performance.

Each cafe is focused on a theme important to Fort Collins: science, arts, recreation, and local history and culture. Beet Street Culture Cafes will keep you on the cutting edge of the Fort Collins arts and culture scene.

• Science Cafe: 2nd Wednesday
• Art Cafe: 4th Wednesday
• Recreation Cafe (coming in 2011): 3rd Wednesday
• History Cafe (coming in 2011): 1st Wednesday

There is no cover charge for the presentation; audience members purchase their own food and drinks.

Beet Street Culture Cafes feature:

• Weekly presentations, with each gathering organized around a specific theme or organization
• A short talk from the speaker followed by questions and answers and general discussion.
• We encourage audience arrival at 5:30 pm to order food and drink and to socialize with other participants. The talk begins at 6:00 pm and we wrap up at 7:00 pm.
• Individual Culture Cafes (Science Cafe, Art Cafe, Recreation Cafe, History Cafe) will include a blog on the topic, links to reading materials, and a forum for feedback, comments and discussion.
