Entheon

Entheon means a place to discover the Creator within.

Entheon, Sanctuary of Visionary Art at CoSM, transforms 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 image, that resonates with the highest states of consciousness. Inside Entheon, the Chapel of Sacred Mirrors features a cathedral-esque latticework ceiling, ten archangels, and a quartz crystal moat that surrounds each of the twenty-one Sacred Mirrors.

The exhibition inside will open before the building is wrapped in sculpture.

The Entheon Portal features bronze sculptural doors, a work of art entitled Creating a Better World, by Alex Grey. Artists, Adam & Eve, return to the Garden to paint a new world and harvest the Tree of Wisdom.

All-One Gallery

Original artwork will be exhibited by leading masters of the International Visionary Art Movement.

Inside the entrance, the World Prayer Wheel, by Alex Grey, may be turned by every visitor, each revolution symbolizing the repetition of the prayers inscribed, “May the Elements Be Purified.” “May Peace Prevail on Earth.” “May All Being Be Liberated.” “Sustain the Web of Life.”

The Entheon Museum Shop will offer affordable originals, limited editions, Visionary books and posters, and an attractive and eclectic selection of artistic gifts and fine altar objects.
