Join us for “The Labyrinth: A Journey Within,” an immersive art installation on the main stage of the United Palace.  The labyrinth is a pathway into the unknown.  It symbolizes your life’s journey & all its unexpected twists & turns. Life is not linear & filled with uncertainty.  How do we ease into natural rhythm of our lives & the flow of all the Universe has to offer us?  Participants will be invited to write a message or question to carry into the labyrinth, then walk the labyrinth & allow the answer to be revealed.  The event will close with a group ritual & communal walk to help us remember that we are never journeying alone.

The labyrinth is created by award-winning Mexican artist Andrea Arroyo. Andrea works in painting, site-specific installation, public art & installation. Her work has been exhibited in 54 individual exhibitions & over 200 group shows in museums & galleries in the US & abroad.  Her work is in many public collections, including The National Museum of American History, the Smithsonian Institution, The Library of Congress, The New York Public Library, The Latin Recording Academy of Arts and Sciences, The City University of New York, and The National Museum of Mexican Art.  Her book “ImagiNATIONS: Art as Solidarity” received the Gold Medalfor Best Art Book at the International Latino Book Awards. Ms. Arroyo has received numerous awards & she is also a curator & an activist.  www.andreaarroyo.com

“The Labyrinth: A Journey Within” is the fourth public event offered by The Muse, the United Palace of Spiritual Arts’ monthly program celebrating inspiration, the arts & community, challenging participants to reimagine what’s possible in art & in life.
