yes, I've had my ticket for a while, and am really anticipating this event. Aside from groovy music and people, it's really hard (in my experience) to see a grouping of visionary art in person, it's not really something art galleries or museums seem too interested in. And while cosm is incredible, it will be very nice, and rare, to see visionary work by artists beyond Alex Grey gathered in one place.
(for the record, I guess the moma has one fred tomaselli piece in their collection, but I've never seen it on display)

what can I say about it..... WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
one of the best events I have being on these 2 1/2 years of NY for SURE!
everything...
the vibrational west coast influence was so perceptible. Visual artists, djs, perfomers...soooo nice!
Such a nice gathering of the psychedelic visionary family.
During the day there was the tribal market, with some very cool artworks for sale, from posters and imagery cards to clothing and jewelry. Always with some good music happening...
At night the panel with all the artists was so inspirative, to know more what the autors meant on their works really opens widely the influence of the images.
Diferent ways of thought and approach to art, always with evolutionary approach.
Crystal and Spore blew me...music/visual/spoken words/performance really taken to another level.
It was great to listen to all the djs Naasko, Noah, CJ....thanks...there was even had an special participation of monkey at the end!
Djing there was such a pleasure also, wonderfull crowd, jumping and grooving with us. Thank you so much for the positive response btw, it really means a lot to us.
Thank you all involved on the development and creation of this gathering.
Namaste!
