Psychedelic Art Show and Lunch Time Lecture with Nick Schou

One of Orange County’s hidden gems for art and culture is the Coastline Art Gallery in Newport Beach. It’s off the beaten path--on Monrovia Avenue in a mostly industrial area--but once you find it, you’ll want to visit often.

Now, is a great time to check it out!

OC Weekly’s managing editor and award-winning investigative journalist, Nicholas Schou will be at Coastline Art Gallery Wednesday, Sept. 2 at noon to talk about his book “Orange Sunshine: The Brotherhood of Eternal Love and Its Quest to Spread Peace, Love, and ACID to the World” (2009).

Schou’s talk is in conjunction with the exhibition “Orange Sunshine and the Mystic Artists 1967-1970“ on view through September 26.

The exhibition is a retrospective of psychedelic art produced in Orange County by the Mystic Artists, a group of artists interested in alternative culture, mystical experience, and the transformation of society.

These artists congregated and exhibited their art at Mystic Arts World, a psychedelic emporium in Laguna Beach from 1967 to 1970.  The art works range in styles from beat assemblage to craft and figuration to psychedelic art.

Nick Schou’s literary career also includes “Kill the Messenger: How the CIA's Crack Cocaine Epidemic Destroyed Journalist Gary Webb” (2006), and “The Weed Runners” “Spooking the News: How the CIA Buys off Journalists and Manipulates the Press” (2016).

Coastline Art Gallery is at Coastline Community College at 1515 Monrovia Avenue in Newport Beach. 714.241.6213
