Art exhibit in Madison features folks connecting over tea

How many significant conversations throughout the world have occurred over a cup of tea? 

Whether with friends and family, or work colleagues, or even among nations through statecraft, talking over tea has been one of the few cultural expressions that unite us as a human family. 


An exhibition at Mercy by the Sea’s Mary C. Daly RSM Art Gallery, 167 Neck Road, Madison shares the works of 44 artists who expressed their interpretations of the human experience of connecting over tea. 

The gallery show runs Aug.18-Oct. 14, and the opening is from 2-4 p.m. Sunday.

Both the premiere of the video TEA, Connecting Cultures and a piece of performance art by Thomas J. Foran will enrich the opening. 
The collaboration is organized by artist and architect Ann E. Grasso.

The gallery is open 9 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday.

Cupcake cafe to open in Seymour

SEYMOUR - Valley native Alyssa DeMatteo is readying a "soft opening" Saturday of "Wildflour Confections," a cupcake cafe.
The shop at 18 Bank St., on the corner of First Street, will feature cupcakes, cookies, and cakes.

DeMatteo's line of sweets includes vegan and gluten-free options. She will also offer "adult" treats, laced with alcohol.

DeMatteo, 24, worked at Eddy's Bake Shop in Ansonia for six years, where she learned cake decorating techniques and consulted with brides on their cakes. About three years ago she started selling her own cakes and cupcakes for weddings, showers,and parties.

Last year she decided it was time to open a storefront to expand the business.

"I hope to create a comfortable, cafe-like atmosphere here," DeMatteo said. "I see people coming in, getting a cupcake and coffee, hanging out, reading, enjoying the art or talking with friends. I see people relaxing here."

DeMatteo plans to feature displays by local photographers, painters, and artists in the shop. A funky couch and chairs face big windows overlooking Bank and First streets in the town's antiques district.

DeMatteo creates about 40 specialty cupcakes - some are standards like Red Velvet, and others are personal concoctions, such as The Key To His Heart, a chocolate cake filled with peanut butter mousse topped with chocolate buttercream frosting, peanut butter, and a Reese's cup.
DeMatteo was in the process of designing the cupcake when she met her boyfriend two years ago. He gained 10 pounds during the trial phase.
Another popular cupcake is The Sinatra -- a vanilla cupcake filled with cannoli cream topped with chocolate ganache and cannoli.

All cupcakes are also available as cakes.
