Tea House

We are teaming up with Pippin Contemporary for “Steeped In Art, ” an Art Matters event sponsored by the Santa Fe Gallery Association on Saturday, March 21st from two to four pm. The tea and art pairing is part of Art Matters’ sustenance-themed event series on how food, conversation and art nourish the mind, body, and soul. Participating galleries will pair with restaurants or host discussions on the subject between March 13th and March 22nd. Pippin Contemporary Marketing Director, Kelly Skeen, will be working with our owner Richard Freedman to pair a different gourmet tea with each artist based on the tea’s richness, flavor, boldness and energy. Event attendees will then have the opportunity to taste a variety of teas while contemplating the defining qualities it shares with contemporary paintings. Pippin Contemporary will host this free and public event at 200 Canyon Road.
