“There’s a new immersive art experience in town, but artist Laurie Shapiro’s gallery installation Alchemy Tunnel has more in common with an ayahuasca tent than amped-up pop-culture spectacle.

As an environment, it resembles a fantastic dream, luminous and alive; as a place, it hosts ticketed events including comedy, theater, sound baths, vegan dinner and music. The art installation is open for free on Saturdays, and while daydreams are encouraged, no shoes are allowed.”
