From a press release:

As part of its Arts Engage initiative, the Lackawanna County Arts and Culture Department is sponsoring “The Art of Chinese Tea Ceremony” featuring Dr. Kathy Wang, an authority on the subject, in Shopland Hall at the Scranton Cultural Center on Sunday, Sept. 12 at 3 p.m.

Tea ceremonies have been performed in China for centuries and are an integral part of Chinese culture. These activities focus on slowing down and appreciating the moment, promoting relaxation and well-being. This is especially important as the public faces mental health issues during the ongoing pandemic.

The program will include a presentation on the history of the Chinese tea ceremony, tea samples, and a Guzheng, or Chinese zither performance, by Dr. Wang.

All current guidelines by the CDC and the state will be strictly followed at the Scranton Cultural Center (420 N. Washington Ave., Scranton), and masks are highly encouraged. Because of COVID-19, space is extremely limited and reservations are required to attend.

To reserve a spot, call 570-963-6590, ext. 3176, or email arts-culture@lackawannacounty.org.

The Arts Engage initiative focuses on supporting and promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion and arts for health and wellness.

The office of Arts and Culture advocates and supports high-quality arts opportunities and programs for people of all ages throughout Lackawanna County. It provides services to artists and arts organizations in the region as well as makes grants available to qualified artists and organizations.
