The Muse

The Muse

Inspiration is everywhere

The Muse is UPSA’s monthly program celebrating inspiration, the arts, & community.

Our intention is to gather as a new community of artists & art lovers as we discover & celebrate all the ways that inspiration, or as we like to fondly call her, The Muse, elevates our daily lives.  Through our shared human experiences, creative expression & love of the arts, we can contemplate life’s biggest questions to find new meaning in the world around us.
