Whether enjoyed as a quiet morning ritual or shared with friends at day’s end, tea has long been a source of comfort and connection. This beverage carries a rich history spanning thousands of years and cultures. In honor of the 40th anniversary of Strathmore’s Afternoon Tea program, we invite artists to reflect on the tastes, scents, traditions, and emotions that surround tea and teatime. From artworks created with tea itself to vessels designed for serving it, submissions across all media and styles are welcomed.

The table is set and your place awaits at Strathmore’s Steeped exhibition.
