ART LIFE MONEY

It only seems fitting for “NewYork” to get its own exhibition and art series started. “Art Life Money” is a series curated by Ty Johnson, who owns several businesses in the city of Poughkeepsie. “Art Life Money” is a series of sessions designed to bring people that love Marijuana, Music, and Art in one space. As the plant has been legalized for recreational use over the past few years (Washington and Colorado came first in 2012; New York joined the ranks in March of 2021, a slew of marijuana-themed museums and immersive experiences have been cropping up throughout the country. High Lounge looks to pave the way for consumption lounges in Hudson Valley.

This themed exhibit and is hinting at the relationship between cannabis, music, art, food, and pleasure. “Medicinal properties aside, cannabis helps release dopamine, which not only impacts our receptors and our nerve pathways, but it also enhances our sense of touch or smell.” Noting it can be particularly helpful for people who struggle being comfortable physically but also mentally.

Venue organizers are allowing ticket holders to smoke up or munch their edibles while viewing the some amazing art. Giant visualizations made by FireKings, David Sebastian, and more. Musical performances by Dope Coley and Riri The Dream, and food catered by Chef John Dorrer & Chef Chopo.

The event is being put on by “NewYork” a company owned by Christina and Ty Johnson and they’re billing it as “high-end art meets high-end cannabis hospitality.” Either way, the key word is “High.”  The first ART, LIFE, MONEY session takes place March 12th, 2022 at High Lounge in Poughkeepsie.
