United Palace – The Muse: Hair Stories

Date: Tuesday, June 24th | Time: 7:00pm–9:00pm | Free with Registration

Doors open at 6:30pm. The Muse begins at 7:00pm in the NoMAA Gallery.

Join us for The Muse: Hair Stories, with special guest speaker Dr. Niria E. Leyva-Gutiérrez, Executive Director of the Northern Manhattan Arts Alliance (NoMAA). In conjunction with NoMAA’s 16th annual Women in the Heights Exhibition, Hair: Untangling Identity, The Muse presents Hair Stories. Through art, reflection, and the sharing of personal stories and experience, we will explore how hair identifies & informs our lives — for better or worse!

 

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.

 

This event is free with registration, and light refreshments will be provided. All are welcome as we give back to those who have given us so much.

 

Event Schedule:

  • Doors – 6:30PM
