Encountering the Sacred Image is an international symposium hosted at the Icon Museum and Study Center that brings together leading scholars from around the world to share new research on Greek and Russian icons in the Museum’s collection. Participants will present on a selection of highlights from the Icon Museum’s permanent collection, none of which have been previously published or extensively studied. The conference papers will serve as the core of a new museum catalogue, which will offer a new perspective on the history of Orthodox icons in a manner accessible and engaging for art historians, museumgoers, and icon lovers alike.

Free with Admission. You are invited to the U.S. premiere of Living Prayer in Christianity, a contemplative documentary that explores the inner practices, sacred iconography, and daily monastic rhythms of Orthodox Christian tradition. Director Jean-Claude Lubtchansky explores the essence of Christianity with the support of icons, which serve as windows to the sacred, making the invisible visible.

Member Exclusive Event. Celebrate the opening of Light from the East: Masterpieces from the Ikonen-Museum Recklinghausen and encounter the artistic power and spiritual depth of Greek and Russian icon painters adapting to the rise and fall of empires.

Enjoy a musical evening of world-class music at the Icon Museum with a special concert performed by Worcester Chamber Music Society.
