Embrace the Psychedelic Renaissance in Art
In the heart of San Diego on February 15, 2025, a groundbreaking event will fuse the vibrant California counterculture with contemporary art, setting the stage for a transformative experience at Coterie Public. The initiative aims to blend creativity and holistic healing, offering attendees an immersive journey that intertwines art, yoga, meditation, and spiritual practices.
This unique gathering is curated by Coco, an influential San Francisco yogi and art dealer, who has dedicated herself to exploring the therapeutic potential of art. Her vision expounds a fundamental belief that art, sound, and wellness can lead to personal growth and holistic well-being. As someone whose own shed burdens through creative endeavors and entheogens, Coco seeks to democratize access to these enlightening experiences. She says, "Art, which I was encouraged to explore as a young child, was the first thing that saved me. Yoga was the second. Psychedelics took me to an entirely different level."
The Event's Highlights
Coterie Public welcomes everyone to the free event at Abpópa Hillcrest from 4 PM to 7 PM, emphasizing the importance of coming without preconceptions. Attendees are encouraged to share personal stories in a forum-style setting designed to cultivate open dialogue among participants. Various activities, including guided meditation sessions, sustainable fashion displays, and sound baths, foster a sense of community.
One of the event's highlights will be the exhibition featuring the work of artist Vincent Cordelle, whose captivating pieces convey messages of hope and humanity. Cordelle's multifaceted artistry spans painting, sculpture, and architectural design, all created in themes that provoke thought and expand consciousness. His innovative designs will be showcased in a stunning transformation of a 300-square-foot hotel room, converting it into a serene environment fit for Architectural Digest.
Vincent's signature style leverages high-contrast oil paintings primarily in black and white, creating anonymous figures that collectively portray the human experience. His art serves as a vessel through which viewers are reminded of mankind's collective potential and grace.
Creating Space for Change
Coterie Public isn't just about unique experiences; it's about building a renaissance in the art community. With the belief that art can evoke positive change, the organization actively collaborates with minority, women, and LGBTQ-owned businesses to foster inclusivity and community connection. The event offers an opportunity for smaller businesses to network and gain visibility.
Coco’s ambition through this initiative is to transform how art is perceived and engage a broader audience in contemporary art discourse. Not only will the works of Vincent Cordelle be available for acquisition, but the event aims to identify potential new artists for future residencies, thereby nurturing fresh talent and innovative projects.
Looking Forward
As the psychedelic renaissance unfolds, Coterie Public stands at the intersection of creativity and healing. This February 15 event paves the way for a more integrated approach to art and wellness, embodying a progressive vision of society where artistic expression fosters individual and collective growth. For those interested in attending, RSVP is required to secure a spot in this extraordinary journey into the depths of creativity and consciousness.
