Be part of the growing psychedelic movement. The Illinois Psychedelic Society and Kaleidoscope Psychedelics invite visual artists from across the U.S. to participate in their first Psychedelic Art Show benefiting BIPOC, LGBTQ, and neurodivergent folks seeking psychedelic healing. This unique week-long celebration will not only showcase the profound beauty and insights of psychedelic art but also aims to educate the public on the cultural, therapeutic, and historical aspects of psychedelic substances in a responsible and safe environment.
​
Though this gallery will benefit the psychedelic medicine community of Chicago and greater Illinois, artwork inspired by all forms of “expanded states” is welcome. Some examples of expanded states include, but are not limited to: the use of psychedelics and other plant medicines, ecstatic dance, prayer, long distance running, meditation.
