Portal Happening: Jan 30- Feb 2, 2025
PSYCHEDELICA
Todos Santos, Mexico
Join us for Psychedelica, an art happening on the Pacific Coast of Baja California, with otherworldly flora, fauna, and open space perfect for creative experimentation.
A stellar lineup of artists, chefs, DJs, poets, scientists, actors, and astronomers will be presenting works and performances in dreamy locations around the town, including at our headquarters Castillo de Dracula.
This years theme is “Psychedelica” and we will explore altered states and alternate realities as befitting our ethos of humor, joy, and incorporating everyone into the creative process.
The theme is inspired by my upcoming book “Psychedelic Now” to be published by Assouline in March 2025.
here’s a sample of the schedule
Jan 30th @6pm is a welcome dinner prepared by restauranteur Ernesto Kut at his historic property Casa Melina and special surprises.
Jan 31th @3pm is the See Sea Voyage where we will board boats and find our way to the secret portal for the High Seas Symphony. @8pm Cosmic Sonica Stargazing; a downtempo gathering @The Deep End, a swimming pool turned chic star theater overlooking the Pacific Ocean with live performances and Osiris Opera.

Feb 2nd @1pm. Pool party @The Paradero Hotel
Our most interesting friends, and some of their friends, will be there –both local and international- and we hope to see you there too.
The Happening is engineered as an immersive, participatory experience. You are an artist too which is what makes this event particularly delightful and different from an art fair, a festival, or a party.
