Opening Celebration
5:30–7:30 p.m.
Judith Olson Gregory: Taking Tea, on view in the Charles Cary Rumsey Gallery
Taking Tea, an installation by artist Judy Gregory, consists of a minimalist “house” constructed from used tea leaves and tea bags, echoing the tumultuous journey of tea from the mountains of China to the lace cloths of British aristocracy and beyond. The installation provides a contemplative, contemporary site for tea ceremonies as well as for the interpretation of messages found in tea leaves. This exhibition is presented by Nancy and Kevin Gavagan and QCI Asset Management with additional support from Cameros Family Lead Trust.
