On January 3rd of last year, Coxsackie-based artist Ruby Silvious committed to posting a tea-themed art piece on social media for a year. The project, “365 Days of Tea,” featuring mixed-media paintings on used teabags, went viral in October, getting picked up by blogs and publications including the Guardian (UK), Bored Panda, and Design Taxi. A solo show of Slivious’s work, “Tea and Alchemy,” will be exhibited January 16 through February 27 at GCCA’s Catskill Gallery, 398 Main Street in Catskill. An opening reception will be held on January 23, from 5 to 7pm. (518) 934-3400; Greenearts.org. Portfolio: Rubysilvious.com.
