A graduate of the Victoria School of Performing & Visual Arts, KRISTIN Kajorinne, Karyn’s daughter, brings a youthful and energetic perspective to the table. 
The vision began as Expressionz Café, Market and Meeting Place - A place where people would come together to relax, and experience gourmet tastes, and a range of local arts and entertainment. Designed for “sense satisfaction”, Expressionz aimed to titillate the taste buds, ooo la la the olfactory, exercise the eardrums, variegate the view and animate the atmosphere.
Opening its doors Dec 1, 1999, Expressionz was certainly unique. It could be better described as a “centre”, appealing to a mature crowd interested in sharing and experiencing the simple joys of life. It offered the individual an opportunity to become a part of something. It became a highly desirable venue for performer and audience alike, its’ homey and intimate atmosphere providing a setting unmatched in the city.
Over time events programming grew to include a variety of private functions and workshops such as the LUNCH HOUR TALK series produced by the Community Networks Group, with guest speakers covering a variety of human-interest topics.
introducing their favorite recipes and culinary tips. These successful luncheons and gatherings truly made Expressionz a meeting place.
In the first two years of operation, Expressionz created a strong foundation, connecting with many local community groups, and developing relationships with Arts Industry Professionals and Associations across the country. Many of our initial goals were reached, while others continued to adapt and evolve. After 2 ½ years of successful operation, an unfortunate chain of events led to the temporary closure of the Café in May of 2002.
