Two years ago, we quietly began SourCremant — with intimate dinners for six and a small kitchen full of big, sometimes uncertain ideas 🍍 Along the way, there were countless experimental menus, late nights, and moments when we wondered if it would be our last. But like any meaningful journey, we kept moving forward — step by step, holding onto a vision that continues to grow with us. From those first gatherings, we’ve expanded beyond our home kitchen, hosting dinners in Los Angeles, Austin, and Lisbon — each experience shaping who we are today. 📍 On May 1, we’ll be hosting our 16th Art Dinner and celebrating our 2-year anniversary. This time, we invite you to join us at a hidden gem in NYC — the rooftop at Happier Grocery @happiergrocery . 🍾 For this special evening, our friends from the @hermannjwiemer have curated a thoughtful wine pairing to complement each course. The theme, Blossoms & Flowers, reflects both art and cuisine — a tribute to the timeless beauty of flowers, their symbolism, and their often-overlooked role as a source of delicate and surprising flavors. We hope this evening will capture the feeling of spring in New York — vibrant, warm, and full of color. We are deeply grateful to everyone who has supported us along the way. Your presence, encouragement, and trust have made this journey possible 🫶🏼 Join us in celebrating, or simply send your good wishes as we continue building toward something bigger ♥️ With appreciation, Chef Konstantin & Veronika SourCremant 🎞️ @dashavolchk

Marcel Duchamp moments 💙 An intimate lecture set against a sweeping skyline, surrounded by collectible design masterpieces, and marking the first major U.S. retrospective of the artist in over half a century at MoMA. With arty snacks on the side 🫜 “I have forced myself to contradict myself in order to avoid conforming to my own taste.” — Marcel Duchamp Grateful to @mashangelova and @theeditbyangelova for creating such an exquisite Friday evening, and to @manuelasanchezg_ & @ashlee_harrison for hosting us above the city in Midtown. 🎞️ @kovalski_rea

Four days shaped around the 61st Venice Biennale and the city beyond it. Preview access before the public opening, off-site shows handpicked by TEA, breakfasts with artists, lunches with curators and art historians, and a private black tie salon dinner in a private Venetian palazzo. There is also the Venice we care about just as much: Bellinis, island lunches, moleche season, quiet corners of Giudecca, and a circle of collectors, founders, and cultural patrons who make the table as memorable as the programme itself. The trip is designed to offer a broad experience of Venice, with our concierge available to extend your stay or shape additional time around the trip on request. A photographer travels with the group throughout. Curated by @mashangelova and @werona May 7-10 | Venice Limited seats. Link in Bio.

For those who love to plan ahead — let’s explore and experience art together this spring 🌸 📍New York: gallery walks through Chelsea, the Upper East Side, the Whitney, plus a book club. 📍Venice: Biennale preview and season openings in the most beautiful palazzos. And a new art dinner that also celebrates @sourcremant 2nd birthday 🎂 Swipe → 🎠

Once upon a time… ✨ For the TEA Salon at Maison Barnes in NYC, we crafted a tablescape that gently defined the mood of the evening — warm, intimate, and quietly poetic. Set in anticipation of an unforgettable performance by famed pianist Mikhail Voskresensky, every element was placed with care: soft illumination, refined details, and a subtle stillness that filled the room even before the first note began. We’re thankful to @theeditbyangelova and @maisonbarnes.nyc for their trust and for inviting our vision into such a beautifully curated space. For us, every story starts at the table.

Late to post this — but some Saturday mornings in April deserve to be remembered properly. Together with Olya @wdisney — photographer, longtime New Yorker, former radio and TV host — we hosted our first collaboration, and what we think is a genuinely one-of-a-kind format: a photography brunch, equal parts theory and practice. Ten people. An intimate brunch in Chinatown’s best coffee spot @rule257.nyc . We talked about photography as a way of catching moments — and how to start noticing frames in everyday life. Then a lecture on iconic 20th and 21st century photographs that changed art, fashion, media, and how we perceive reality. And then: a phone photography masterclass — light, composition, settings, and above all, the feeling of a frame. Live shooting and feedback included. Grateful to everyone who showed up for this first one. Thank you @eliza.plstv for having us! And yes — we’re doing it again. 🤍

Art in Paris

✨✨✨

Paris 🪑🪑🪑

The countdown to Friday is on for our dinner with French artist on show at Art Paris — aurèce vettier. While our special experience tour starts on Wednesday with Art Paris previews our TEA Art Editor Veronika Kandaurova is giving you a sneak peak of what’s on her mind. Where to go, what to see, and what’s actually worth your time beyond the Art Paris and PAD fair this week from the Grand Palais to Gagosian. Save this. You’ll need it. 💛

Cities are saturated with signals. Very few are designed to hold meaning. I’m proud (and a bit shy) to share my first curatorial large-scale digital art exhibition, launched across 2000 screens in Dubai and finally in London — two cities emblematic of speed, density, and continuous transformation. The Beauty of Impermanence as a Generative Condition explores how nature, belief, and cosmology are reinterpreted through computation. Here, impermanence becomes a generative force — expressed through evolving forms, repetition, and systems in constant transformation. Rather than static images, the works unfold over time — reflecting a world shaped by speed, networks, and continuous change. This exhibition brings together 14 brilliant artists from across the world, each contributing distinct approaches to generative and time-based practices. @mrk.ism @invisiblejam @canvas.51 @aryunasong @vollut @_jeanchristophe @alyona.movko.maegi @interactive.items @into.the.grid @tripura_maha @yo_mo_yo @kondakovvadim 🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶 Several works have already been acquired, marking an important milestone for the platform and the artists involved. Thank you @ioginality for the invitation and trust, @elevisionmedia for the opportunity. Explore the show and collect your art at ioginality.io Part II coming soon.

One sunny NYC gallery run — save this route ✨ @levygorvydayan @rosenbergandco @gittermangallery @turngallery @ceysson_benetiere @hellynahmadgallery @gagosian @whitecube @skarstedtgallery @theveneklasengallery 📸 @wdisney
