THE MUSE: CULTIVATING RENEWAL
Sunday, April 27th @ 3pm
Celebrate spring with The Muse: Cultivating Renewal, an inspiring event honoring Earth Day and the many traditions observed during this season, including Easter, Holi, Ramadan, Passover, Ostara, and Vesak. Together we’ll craft a garden on stage, nurture our creativity, and foster a community rooted in renewal and growth. Come with an open mind and leave with the fresh intentions of a garden in bloom.
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. We can’t wait to share this vibrant season with you!
