ConnCAT and the New Haven Free Public Library Announce Partnership to Bring Culinary Excellence to the Green

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
August 12, 2019
ConnCAT and the New Haven Free Public Library Announce Partnership to Bring Culinary Excellence to the Green
New Haven, CT (August 12, 2019) —  The Connecticut Council for Arts and Technology (ConnCAT), along with the New Haven Free Public Library (NHFPL) today announced their newly minted partnership which enhances food options and brings culinary opportunities to New Haven’s nine squares.

Through this partnership, ConnCAT’s Orchid Cafe will open its doors in Ives Squared on the New Haven Green. This second location is set to bring the fruit of ConnCAT’s Culinary Arts Academy to the downtown area. Orchid on the Green opens August 12 and a grand opening celebration is slated for September.

“Our mission at ConnCAT has always been to assist community members in their efforts to grow, develop and improve their circumstances,” ConnCAT President and CEO, Erik Clemons said. “Supporting the community with job opportunities, entrepreneurial guidance and authentically welcoming spaces remains at the core of the work we do and we’re excited to integrate that work into the long-standing mission of the New Haven Free Public Library. This partnership will allow us to deepen our commitment to New Haven while ensuring that community members have consistent access to Orchid’s nutritionally rich menu and socially responsible mission.”

“We are excited to welcome ConnCAT and its culinary arts café, Orchid on the Green, to Ives Squared, the library’s renovated space for 21st-century learning, entrepreneurship and civic engagement,” City Librarian Martha Brogan said. “The café is the social engine of Ives Squared, promoting the exchange of ideas in a convivial and relaxed atmosphere with an inventive food and beverage menu. With ConnCAT as our partner, we look forward to deepening our programmatic and service collaboration in support of our shared community values.”

Orchid Café’s premier location was established in 2017 as a full–service breakfast and lunch restaurant that provides training opportunities for participants in the ConnCAT Culinary Arts Academy. The culinary arts program trains adults in the areas of food and beverage operations, entrepreneurial skills, baking and pastry arts, and advanced culinary skills. Graduates also receive the national Food Service Protection Manager certification. The program is targeted to low-income individuals from New Haven, with approximately 25% formerly incarcerated individuals.

With missions that are mutually beneficial and aligned, NHFPL, ConnCAT, and its subsidiary the Connecticut Community Outreach Revitalization Program (ConnCORP) are poised to bring a combination of urban culture, arts, and local community conversations to New Haven’s nine squares. All proceeds from Orchid on the Green will go towards supporting NHFPL and ConnCAT’s ongoing missions.

“The inspiring story of Orchid Café at ConnCAT coming into existence in 2017 is nothing short of beautiful and we have been looking forward to growing,” said Raven Blake, Manager of Orchid Café & Food Operations. “This collaboration comes so naturally because the missions of the NHFPL and ConnCAT are aligned. We are all committed to serving New Haven residents and the community at large, and we do that by providing access and opportunities to foster essential connections. When institutions come together and put people and community first, the most extraordinary things happen and we can’t wait to witness those developments.”

“We are so delighted to bring our second location to Downtown and collaborate with the award-winning New Haven Free Public Library,” said Gideon Gebreyesus, Vice President of Food Operations and Concept Developments for ConnCORP. “It is truly a win-win situation. We are excited to embark on what ConnCAT has created for all these years and keep the continuity of the mission going through our food initiatives”

Orchid on the Green is an innovative opportunity for the two mission-driven organizations to grow, collaborate, and continue developing the pipeline of local talent in New Haven.

Pantone Colors for Fall 2019 & Winter 2020 – Arpaia Jewelry

Autumn/Winter’s unique bold hues herald confidence and empowerment

Fall 2019 and Winter 2020 fashion runways are splashing a wide range of colors from vibrant fall reds to more subtle and surprising soft tones.

Color influences our emotions. Color is capable of conveying broad themes and invoking feelings. For example, wearing a strong pink coat can lift the spirit and drown out winter doldrums.

Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute, indicates that fall/winter color trends are all about rich hues that make a statement and yet create warmth and harmony when paired with quieter more reserved colors. She describes color offerings for the upcoming seasons in fashion as sophisticated, extroverted, liberating, and strikingly different. These colors relate to feelings of excitement and power.

Expectedly, Pantone’s 2019 color of the year “Living Coral” largely influences fall’s top picks by highlighting peach, pink and orange shades.

Also, blue is a huge color trend. One of the most interesting Pantone colors for the upcoming fall & winter seasons is BLUESTONE. This washed-out, tinged grey, muted blue is nearly neutral, yet a standout.

Pantone Creme de Peche

Pantone Peach Pink

Pantone Dark Cheddar

Pantone Orange Tiger

Pantone Fruit Dove

Pantone Chili Pepper

Pantone Biking Red

Pantone Galaxy Blue

Pantone Rocky Road

Core Classic ~ Pantone Evening Blue

Pantone Sugar Almond

Pantone Eden

Core Classic ~ Pantone Vanilla Almond

Core Classic ~ Pantone Paloma

Core Classic ~ Pantone Guacamole

BLUESTONE !!!

Pantone # 18-4217

Gemmy Bluestone Pearls

Of Pantone’s lush seasonal array, Bluestone is most intriguing. I desired to emulate this sensational color when selecting these dyed cultured freshwater pearls for this flexible silver bangle bracelet ($145).
