NY Artists Allyson and Alex Grey Bring Chapel of Creativity to Idaho Festival
IDAHO MOUNTAIN EXPRESS
By Sabina Plasse
IDAHO - In 1996, visionary artists Allyson and Alex Grey, along with Wood River Valley resident Bex Wilkinson, co-founded the Chapel of Sacred Mirrors or CoSM. Wilkinson said it all started in the Greys' Brooklyn, NY loft.
"We started the journey to build an enduring sanctuary of visionary art to inspire every pilgrim's creative path as well as help them to embody the values of love and perennial wisdom," she said. "The Cosmic Salon that will be presented at the Sun Valley Wellness Festival is a byproduct of the Ethnocentric Salons that occur at CoSM in New York." Traditionally, the Ethnocentric Salons are an all-night dance party with live painting by the Greys, with art supplies for participants and DJ dance music. All the Cosmic Salon participants from the Chapel of Sacred Mirrors will come from New York to perform in Sun Valley. The Comic Salon will take place on Saturday, May 28, from 8 p.m. to 12 a.m. at the Sun Valley Inn Continental Room. Bring art materials and prepare to dance. Tickets are $35 and $15 for students under 21. The event is free for Saturday and weekend pass holders. For details, visit www.sunvalleywellnees.org. [link]
