Japanese Artist Welcoming Ceremony

Japan-based artist Mai Ueda is the Crisp-Ellert Art Museum’s (CEAM) Artist-in-Residence on Monday, November 17 through Wednesday, November 26, 2025.  A performance and tea ceremony is being held to welcome her.  The event is free and open to the public.

When: Tuesday, November 18, 2025 — 6:30pm-8:30pm

Where: Ringhaver Student Center’s Virginia Room

Ueda’s work crosses platforms such as performance, drawing, poetry, and installation.  Since 2012, the artist has focused on non-material mediums, celebrating her Japanese roots and heritage by centering her practice around the tradition of the Japanese Tea Ceremony.  According to Ueda, a Tea Ceremony brings people together to share knowledge and emotions, creating an environment of awareness and presentness.  In 2014, Ueda co-founded World Tea Gathering, a community for artists exploring tea as an art form.
