Hi there,

We're excited to announce that we are collaborating with several incredible artists who expand the meaning and beauty of psychedelic art - their work is now available on t-shirts in our online store. Each purchase supports the artist, our movement and public understanding of what 'psychedelic' can mean, with or without substances.

Featured here you can see 'Dive in' by Dontthinkgo & 'Together' by Tereza Bird. If you are an artist who is pushing past the current paradigm of psychedelic art, and would like your work to be considered, then feel free to get in touch: ronen@psychedelicsociety.org.uk
