Cudgegong gallery in Gulgong has expanded its vista from art to food. The Cafe house at the foyer area of the Cudgegong gallery will officially open on 21 January 2006 and give you a great variety of teas, Toby’s Estate Coffees and homemade tortes, cakes, scones, biscuit and other bakery foods. Cafe at Art would make me feel majestic, I wonder how it would be sipping black coffee and observing and feeling a piece of art. This is the real way to enjoy art and I am sure you will boast of such an experience later.
This idea of satisfying both the senses is not a new idea, as Ashland’s Pendleton Arts Center opened a Pendleton Cafe. The Pendleton cafe serves sandwiches made of ham, roast beef, turkey, chicken salad, tuna salad, egg salad, and B.L.T. The Pendleton Cafe also serves classics like hotdogs, bologna, and pastrami. However, I feel a Cafe at an art gallery should complement the treat to eyes instead of overpowering your culinary senses, but I think Cafe at Art has just opened and in couple of months, it would be as profitable as Pendleton…in terms of making business.
Opening a Cafe in a museum or in an art gallery is a very nice idea of running a profitable business.
