United Palace: The Muse – Celebrating the Solstice

Experience the United Palace like you never have before as YOU provide the light that brightens the theatre. (HINT: Bring your cell phone, or a small flashlight – you’ll need it!) We will celebrate the summer solstice (a couple weeks early) with an immersive moment by turning darkness into light, silence into sound, and outdoor into indoor. If you love how the United Palace mingles movies, music, and meditation you won’t want to miss this intimate activity.

The Muse is a monthly program dedicated to celebrating inspiration, the arts, and community. It brings together open-minded artists and art lovers to explore the many ways inspiration, or The Muse, elevates our daily lives. Through shared human experiences, creative expression, and a deep love for the arts, we reflect on life’s biggest questions, uncovering new meaning in the world around us through intimate interventions throughout the United Palace.
