Heron Arts is pleased to present Lucid Plane, a group exhibition that blurs the line between dream and vision. Bringing together contemporary artists whose work channels the aesthetics of psychedelia—vivid palettes, surreal compositions, altered realities, and expanded consciousness—the exhibition spans painting, sculpture, analog, and digital media to explore new modes of perception. Curated by Tova Lobatz, Heron Arts Director, and independent curator and art consultant Dorka Keehn, Lucid Plane invites viewers to enter expanded states of seeing and imagining.
The exhibition features works by Miguel Arzabe, Jay Blakesberg, Kelsey Brookes, Nick Dong, Marco Ferrero, Lia Halloran, David Huffman, Mario Martinez, Kate Nichols, Psychedelic Puppet Show with Brad Necyk and Jason Silva, and Terri Loewenthal. The opening reception takes place Thursday, December 11, 2025, from 6–9 PM and is free and open to the public. The exhibition will remain on view through January 22, 2026, by appointment only.
