A Tea Party!

>Not that kind!

For months, VisArts has been collecting tea pots from well-known artists for their biggest fundraiser of the year, a High Tea Party and Sale of Artful Teapots to be held on Sunday, October 25 from 1 to 4 PM.

You’ll be able to purchase teapots, tea bowls, tea cups, and tea sets from 95 American and Canadian artists at this elegant event in this beautiful 28,000 square foot art center. All funds raised will benefits VisArts’ Education and Outreach Programs which have served the metropolitan DC area for more than twenty years.

International tea ceremonies will be demonstrated in the Portfolio Gallery. Xuti, in conjunction with Eric Serritella, will be brewing and serving Chinese Gongfu Style tea.

Getting into the spirit of the fundraiser, artist Judith Heartsong has been painting eight fanciful teapot designs in her VisArts studio which will translate into note cards for sale in her studio during the Art of Tea.

Tickets are $60 and can be purchased in advance by contacting Callie Prassinos at 301-315-8200, ext 105. If you don’t decide in advance or find a friend at the last minute, tickets will also be available at the door.
