We are people from across the country who share passion and compassion for each other through artistic expression.
We’re more than a quarter of the way through the 21st century—a time when creative expression and the arts are not luxuries; they are necessities for wellbeing and critical thinking.
Adults and children alike need places where they're invited to play, to create, and to be curious, where they can spread the wings of their imagination and try new activities—activities that may lead to lifelong loves or new skills.
Whimsicalitea exists for this very purpose.
As a 501c3, we’ve been able to put our purpose into practice in a number of tangible ways:
- During the pandemic, we gave more than $100K in financial aid to artists and hosted over 100 events to help small businesses stay afloat
- We’ve published 50+ titles through our indie press, with multiple first-time solo authors this year alone
- Through our annual kids-helping-kids pirate activity, Shared Treasure Hunt, hundreds of back-to-school backpacks have been filled and delivered to children in need—with scallywag parties held on both the East and West coasts in celebration
- Our tongue-in-cheek Fabled Creatures & Endangered Monster Rescue teaches responsible stewardship while benefiting actual animal-aid efforts
- And our vibrant Reading Revolution system transforms learning into a family experience that fosters connection while focusing on fun
During our tenure at Studio 14, our first brick and mortar, we created a haven that made visitors feel seen and valued. It was a place where they were free to experiment in mediums they might never otherwise have tried. We’re now looking to grow into a larger space that will enable us to offer additional activities for all ages, both in person and online. Our new-home wishlist includes:
- Space to seat 50 guests at tables / 85 theater style
- ADA-accessible entrances & restrooms
- Ample easy-access parking
If you or your organization would like to collaborate or be part of our soul-centered movement, donations of cash, stock, in-kind gifts, volunteering, social media posts etc are always appreciated. Plus, we have a nifty perqs program to reward you for everything you do to help us fulfill our mission.
Is your group on the lookout for a fun event or fundraiser? How about hosting one of our whodunnits, scavenger hunts, or immersive theatrical experiences? Know of a space that might be a good fit for our new home? Yes, please! Reach out to us at Whimsicalitea.org and let’s see if we can make magic happen together.
In a world where people are feeling isolated by screens, our energizing events and inventive classes nurture the sense of connection so many families and individuals are craving. Welcome to Whimsicalitea, where creativity meets community.
