About Entheon, Sanctuary of Visionary Art ENTHEON, Sanctuary of Visionary Art at CoSM, transformed a three-story carriage house into a stunning 12,000 square foot exhibition of the finest original works of Visionary Art, precious paintings, drawings, sculpture and moving images, resonating with the highest states of consciousness. Inside ENTHEON, the Chapel of Sacred Mirrors features the beloved Sacred Mirrors series of eighteen paintings and two etched mirrors, expressing Alex Grey's vision of the body, mind and soul of an individual. The room is graced with a cathedral-esque latticework ceiling, ten archangels, a floor labyrinth and a moat of quartz crystal that surround and empower each of the Sacred Mirrors. Sculptural "Countenance" of Entheon Now in the planning and construction phase is the "sculptural countenance" of ENTHEON. Fundraising is underway to create thirty faces, four corner angels, four roof dragons, two evolutionary murals and the tablets & bands of secret writing, that all signify the Transcendental Unity of Spirit. These monumental sculptures, funded by those committed to the future of this sacred space, will be realized with the help of experts in ornamental concrete, utilizing advanced technologies of 3D modeling and fabrication. By sharing the psychedelic and mystical experience through visionary art, ENTHEON offers an observatory for the beyond within. The Soul is restored by beholding transcendent beauty.
