The Grand Foyer of the United Palace will be become an ancestral altar on Friday, November 1, 2024.

As humans, we are each deeply connected to the people that came before us, our ancestors.  Whether you have met them during your lifetime or not, your connections to them run deep not only genetically & geographically, but also spiritually.  Join us as we intentionally connect with the ancestors, honoring them, celebrating them & sending them messages of gratitude & love.

We invite you to bring any photos that you may like to contribute to the ancestral altar of your loved ones who have passed on &/or any food offerings that you would like to leave on the altar.  You will also be invited to write out a message to your ancestors, both known & unknown, to acknowledge their presence, ask for guidance or to tell them anything at all that is on your mind or in your heart.

Offerings to the Ancestors is an annual event presented by The Muse, the United Palace of Spiritual Arts’ a monthly program celebrating inspiration, the arts & community, challenging participants to reimagine what’s possible in art & in life.

The event will culminate with a group meditation & other creative offerings to infuse the evening with more meaning & purpose.

Dyckman Farmhouse – Exhibition Opening: “Our Blues,” and “The Devil I Dance With: the Makings of the U.S. Thru African American Eyes”

Exhibition Opening and Reception for “Our Blues,” and “The Devil I Dance With: the Makings of the U.S. Thru African American Eyes”
September 11th, 2024
6PM-8PM
FREE
Light refreshments will be served.
“Our Blues,” by Regina Y. Evans is a healing arts textile installation highlighting the sacredness and dynamic beauty of Black women. The installation focuses upon rage to joy, with the understanding that rage held with intention can be the fuel needed for upending injustices for the sake of necessary freedom.
Black women are the holders of varied coded chapters, divine feelings, insistent jubilations, and spirited pathways. From the melancholy of a poetic blue musical note to the nurturing blue of the wise ocean deep…this is “Our Blues”.
“The Devil I Dance With: the Makings of the U.S. Thru African American Eyes,” is an expression of the tenderness artist Rebecca Boyd Driver feels for the strength of her people, who in the face of tremendous ongoing oppression not only survived, but made us, American people, a better people in all areas and paved the way for all those who followed. Driver feels that no matter who you are and how you are ‘colored’ by your past and present, you can appreciate the reality of how African American people have shaped this country, and how deeply Black people are underappreciated, given the outsized role they have played, in the furtherance of this country’s ideals and construction.
