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.

United Palace – The Muse Presents: The Labyrinth, A Journey Within

Date: Sunday, June 30th | Doors: 4:00pm | Closing Ritual: 6:00pm | Free with registration | 

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
