Behind the Whimsy

Whimsicalitea incorporated in 2017 with a goal to financially benefit artists and artisans with funds raised via events and classes. We're thrilled to support a number of house museums, businesses, and assorted genteel arts entities. Our most prolific year to date was 2022, when we joined our parent organization, the Academy of Omniosophical Arts & Sciences, in funding arts and creative folk in excess of $50,000. 

We originally planned to have a brink & mortar location, but the enterprise fell through spectacularly at the eleventh hour. Since then, we've been operating solely without a physical home. We still intend to remedy that.
