The historic Glencairn Museum, 1001 Cathedral Road in Bryn Athyn, will welcome visitors to the castle for a “Sacred Arts Festival” on Sunday, April 28, from 1-5 p.m. The festival will feature an exploration of religious artistry, featuring live demonstrations by skilled artisans and a temporary exhibition, “Easter Eggs: Symbols of Rebirth and Renewal.” Visitors can immerse themselves in the connection between art and spirituality as demonstrators share their skills across various mediums like metal, glass, sand, stone, eggs, wood and ink.

The festival offers an opportunity to appreciate artistic expressions from a variety of faith traditions, including Christianity, Buddhism, Islam and indigenous practices. In addition to learning from the demonstrators, visitors can enjoy self-guided exploration in the galleries (only offered twice a year), a visit to the Tower and activities for kids and families.

Admission to the Sacred Arts Festival is $12 for adults; $10 for seniors and students; and free for all Museum members and children 4 and under. ••
