Tea with Rupy & Jason is an introduction to the Immigrant Artist Network. Here Rupy shares, "Why tea," which is also a metaphor for how Rupy & Jason hold space & time within their virtual event. 

The Immigrant Artist Network is an outgrowth of two years of co-creation between Rupy C. Tut & Jason Wyman supporting immigrant artists throughout the United States. It began through a partnership with the New York Foundation for the Arts Immigrant Artist Program, and came into full existence in November 2021 in collaboration with Queering Dreams. 

In Spring 2022, the Immigrant Artist Network will be launching a cohort of eight Immigrant Artist Salons that convene immigrant artists of any discipline, of any geographic location, of any level / education / experience (& their comrades) in sharing works in progress, giving & receiving feedback, and building a community-generated glossary of terms to help expand the ways in which immigrant artists share & talk about their work. 

The Immigrant Artist Salons are being co-created by Rupy C. Tut, Jason Wyman, Tanika Williams, Han Qin, Kiana Honarmond, and Momos Cheeskos.
