ENTHEON

As the old world order is crumbling around us, cutting edge creative types are dreaming of a planetary civilization with cooperative agendas of healing the damage humans have inflicted on the lifeweb during our scurrilous, tribal, and near suicidal adolescence as a species. Visionaries are creating and populating festivals like Burning Man, Boom, Tribe and thousands of other echoes of the big bang of Woodstock, the weekend "music and art fair"  that defined hippie hope-aholism. These celebrations of life are arenas of intense alternative worldviews, social groups, and the birthplace of a "WorldSpirit." The evolutionary agendas shared during these temporary ecstatic zones makes one yearn for a more permanent embodiment of our worldwide love tribe aesthetic.  Enter ENTHEON.  

"Entheon" refers to "a place to discover the God within" and is the name we offered to the renowned Burning Man Camp birthed in 2006. Many of the best and brightest Visionary painters exhibited banners and live paintings in Entheon Village's various domes and sculptural tents. At CoSM, Entheon will be the Exhibition Hall of Visionary Art, now under construction. The first exhibition at Entheon will be the art of Alex Grey including all twenty-one Sacred Mirrors. New technologies in 3D modeling and printing will be utilized to create the sculptural elements of this architectural design. Estimated cost to build this two story public structure is about $1.4M. This enduring legacy will be manifested through the donations of many visionaries from all over the world.

Imagine the day you will visit Entheon. Pre-purchase a ticket to Entheon NOW before it exists. A community can vision sacred space into being. Co-create Entheon with us and use your e-ticket ANYTIME after the opening date.

CoSM Grail

CoSM Grail by Alex Grey, 2012, bronze

The four-eyed Quad God "CoSM Grail" is the perfect altar object and vessel for your favorite beverage or sacrament.  A special silver lining makes the Grail safe for drinking.  These take weeks of production and very few are available at the special introductory price of $500.  See shop for details.

As the Grail was in production the first casting was buffed to a high polish by Grant Standard, amazing metalsmith artist.  This reflective "sacred mirror" CoSM Grail will be ceremonially displayed at CoSM.  Would anyone be interested in a polished Grail?  They will be at least $750.  If interested, write to Heather@cosm.org!
