About
Tea Time is a summer exhibition inspired by the global tea cozy collection of the late Ann LaBrunerie, a longtime Columbia art enthusiast whose fascination with domestic rituals uncovered a world of creativity and cultural expression. Featuring historic and contemporary textiles from around the globe alongside original works by Boone County artists, the exhibition explores the artistry, warmth, and shared traditions surrounding tea.
Curated by Robin LaBrunerie and Jo Stealey, Tea Time brings together works in clay, fiber, wood, metal, photography, and more, all inspired by Ann’s remarkable collection of handcrafted tea cozies from countries including Pakistan, India, Iran, and China.
Special thanks to sponsors Steep and Bloom and Robin and Alex LaBrunerie for supporting this exhibition. Financial assistance for this program has been provided by the City of Columbia, Office of Cultural Affairs.
