“Summer of Love Sunday, Open House” Chuck Sperry’s Hangar 18 Studio

Summer of Love Sunday

Sunday, June 4, 2017

11 am to 4 pm

Hangar 18

1428 34th Street (at Hollis)

Oakland, CA

I’m very happy to announce, my Fourth Annual Open House at Hangar 18 Studio Gallery on Sunday, June 4 from 11 am to 4 pm.

Let’s get together for a celebration! This is a great opportunity to visit the print studio that gave birth to some of your favorite posters for your favorite bands.

I’ll be making a Jerry Garcia art show of my art prints made especially for the Jerry Garcia Estate. Also an exclusive showing of my art prints on oak panel, with some special prints, rarities, and surprises available!

Dead & Company will be playing Shoreline in The Bay Area the same weekend. Come celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Summer of Love with a cool poster art show.

We will be giving people random numbers at the door at 10:00 am, so overnight camping is not encouraged!

I will have the brand, new book, “Helikon, The Muses of Chuck Sperry” on sale as well.

Chuck Sperry’s new book “Helikon” gathers together his masterfully screen printed wood panel series of contemporary-classical muses: work inspired by the spirit of the modern rock poster, graffiti, and the utopian ethos of 1960’s psychedelia.

“Helikon” presents 36 sumptuously photographed Sperrys paired with the prose or poem — from Homer to Nick Cave — that inspired each. Over a  dozen photos by Shaun Roberts give the reader an intimate portrait of the artist at work.

This is the third year I’ve made a poster for Leftover Salmon’s annual show at the historic, haunted Stanley Hotel, made famous by “The Shining” Stephen King and Stanley Kubrick’s famous horror story.

Meet Danny. Danny has the Shining. Danny has an imaginary little boy named Tony that lives in his mouth and tells him things.

Danny is a talented little boy … perhaps a little too talented … a very willful boy … a rather naughty boy, according to Delbert Grady the former caretaker of the hotel.

Danny likes to ride around the big hotel on his big wheel. Hotel cook Dick Hallorann told him to be careful, “There ain’t nothing in Room 237. Stay out!”

I’m very proud to announce I created the official poster for the SXSW Music Festival in Austin, Texas. I love the long drive through the Southwest from San Francisco to Austin. Leaving SF in early March and returning after a meandering journey to Texas and back, it’s always a great pleasure to experience the beginning of Spring while catching one of the best music festival’s in the world. My SXSW poster communicates the spirit of hope and spring and music.

Sadly I will not be attending SXSW this year due to a packed schedule, but I will be there in spirit!

My poster will be available officially through SXSW on Thursday, March 9, 2017 at 12 noon – at the main merchandising booth outside EH5 / Registration in the Austin Convention Center.

I’ll be making a very limited release of my SXSW poster and it’s variant on Sunday, March 19, 2017 at a random time.
