Dear CoSM Community,
Over the past year, we have become great friends with Jan Mathews, CEO of East West Living in Manhattan. East West has hosted numerous CoSM related presentations, including the recent official unveiling of Alex's portrait of Barak Obama. East West Living is the planet's most awesome spiritual book & gift store with a delightful vegetarian cafe on the mezzanine, and an event and yoga space upstairs.
As CoSM was closing its doors in Chelsea, Jan realized a mutual opportunity to transform the beautiful East West Yoga Studio into a magnificent gallery to include some of the most important works of art from the Chapel collection. Thanks to her generosity, the beautiful second floor studios at East West Living are now transforming into CoSM @ East West Gallery. Though the 21 piece Sacred Mirrors series will remain off view, in their "chrysalis" as CoSM Art Sanctuary in upstate New York undergoes its metamorphosis, many other popular works such as "Theologue", "Cosmic Christ", "Net of Being", and Allyson's "Jewel Net of Indra" will be exhibited on the second floor at 78 Fifth Avenue @ 14th Street, a refuge for contemplation and renewal in the middle of New York City.
CoSM @ East West Gallery will be open to the public in its new incarnation from noon to 5 pm daily with $5 admission. East West will continue to host yoga classes, workshops, movies, social events and rentals around the gallery schedule. CoSM's Manhattan retail store will open at East West Gallery, with a complete selection of Alex Grey prints and posters, apparel, and artistic gifts.
We are so grateful to our dear friends at East West for hosting a Manhattan outpost for CoSM at such a prestigious location. Please visit us often at this wonderful location.

Dear CoSM Friends,
It's official! I am very honored to announce that Alex Grey's visionary art will find a new Manhattan home at East West Living! As you may be aware, on January 1st CoSM (Chapel of Sacred Mirrors) closed their doors in Chelsea to move to CoSM ArtSanctuary, a scenic 40-acre retreat center 65 miles up the Hudson (more info at www.cosm.org). Over the past year, I have become great friends with Alex and Allyson Grey and we have hosted them here on numerous occasions, including the official unveiling of Alex's portrait of Barak Obama. Last month, I was especially moved by his Self Portrait Retrospective and suddenly realized there was an opportunity to transform our beautiful East West Yoga Studio into a magnificent gallery.
And so we did!
See you there!
Blessings,
Jan Mathews, CEO
