On Tuesday, April 7th, just two days after Easter and marking the 57th anniversary of our rescue and rebirth by Rev. Ike’s church, we invite you to explore the iconography hidden within the walls of the United Palace. After a brief overview of our remarkable history, you’ll encounter the intricate characters and ornamental details woven throughout the space. We’ll reveal our interpretations of their meanings and make connections to the diverse cultures and wisdom traditions that continue to inspire our ministry of the Muse.
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.
Doors open at 6:30pm. The Muse begins at 7:00pm.
