Join us for an evening of art, music and lively conversation at MAPS’ Santa Cruz headquarters. The show features six young artists who support our work by offering their art for sale at MAPS’ events and online store. Professor and author Jim Fadiman will host a discussion on LSD research and creativity studies, and assess the uses of psychedelics in therapeutic and clinical settings. Learn about MAPS’ clinical studies, contribute to the evolving dialogue about psychedelic science, and enjoy art, music, and appetizers with the MAPS community—friendly explorers of science and culture.
