“I am looking forward to the opportunity to promote the various activities within the Spirituality Circle, especially the Museum of Spiritual Art.
​The Museum of Spiritual Art is a great opportunity for local schools, organizations and other communities to see and experience paintings and artifacts from different religions across the world. 
​It is a wonderful collection and location of interfaith spiritual art. 
During 2016, we are planning a series of different speakers each month at the museum on the subject of the “Religious influence on Art.”
