In honor of the late Jerry Garcia‘s birthday, the Jerry Garcia Foundation has donated several pieces of the legendary musician’s fine art to various organizations. These new editions, including the pieces Golden Meadows, Butterfly Study, and Mandolin Player were selected as gift grants for a handful of like-minded charitable organizations.

This most recent round of beneficiaries include Musicians On A Mission, Jerry Day, Bread and Roses, WhyHunger, Fender Music Foundation, Psylodelic Gallery, HeadCount, Reverb, Jake Peavy Foundation, and Shimer College.

The Art of Jerry Garcia

An exhibit featuring over 30 pieces of Jerry’s art.

The Fur Peace Ranch Founders, Vanessa and Jorma Kaukonen, have united music, art, entertainment and education in their Psylodelic Gallery. Designed from a grain silo in Pomoroy, Ohio, the Psylodelic Gallery is home to 1960’s art/music history and is decorated with memorabilia from the Psychedelic Era. The Gallery hosts artists, like Garcia, who is remembered as a quintessential figure of the period.
