Jerry Garcia “Tangled Up In Blue” Limited Edition Print by Chuck Sperry

Jerry Garcia (Autumn), 2017
21 x 32
Edition of 500
9 colors on cream paper
Signed and Numbered

I will be making my artist copies available only through my art shows and live appearances through the end of 2017.

This poster was officially available through the Jerry Garcia Estate.

The third in a series of four screen-prints from renowned artist Chuck Sperry celebrating Jerry’s life and legacy. Each print is signed & numbered by the artist in an edition of 500.

“My third print in my portrait series, “Jerry Garcia (Autumn)”, seeks to capture the wisdom and compassion of the Grateful Dead’s lead guitarist. Jerry anchored the concert hall with his good nature, while a wild, free improvisation swirled through him and around him. I wove a psychedelic paisley pattern throughout the design rendered in nine colors, including bright hues, hand-blended metallics and translucent glazes. My aim is to portray the elder Jerry, the mature artist with a child-like wonder tempered by “A Touch of Grey.” In a decade that dealt many challenges, Jerry’s determined belief “I will get by, I will survive” inspired his greatest moments of clarity and energy.” – Chuck Sperry

Conscious Alliance: 5000 lbs of Food Donations with Sperry Poster Project!

Chuck Sperry, Conscious Alliance

I am very proud and grateful that my Conscious Alliance poster for The String Cheese Incident at Red Rocks was a major success in celebration of Conscious Alliance’s 15th Anniversary. We were able to collect an incredible outpouring of 5000 lbs in food donations through the distribution of my poster.

Conscious Alliance will be delivering this food, your loving heart-and-soul donations, to the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota on Wednesday. Immediate relief will be given to a very deserving community – the great Oglala Sioux people – with all your help and I thank you!

Both Conscious Alliance and The String Cheese Incident were knocked out by the demand for my poster. Conscious Alliance has not seen anything like it in their 15 years of service. There were 100 people in line before Conscious Alliance opened, all three days, and posters sold out in 20 minutes three days in a row. It’s gratifying to harness beautiful, positive fan energy to make a difference in the world!

I want to thank each and every one of you who showed up early, brought food or donated to Conscious Alliance and received one of my intricate 7 color posters for the show. I put my faith, energy and dedication into this worthy project for Conscious Alliance, and we were able to make good things happen for their incredibly cool cause.

Thanks for your support!

To commemorate the past 15 years of ‘Art That Feeds’ Food Drives with The String Cheese Incident, Conscious Alliance has teamed up with artist Chuck Sperry – Rock Art Illustration to create this special limited-edition poster for their upcoming three night run at Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre this week July 21-23 in Colorado. Support the cause and take home this beauty!!!

Artist Chuck Sperry has created this beautiful, limited-edition poster masterpiece for this very special 3-night run on the beautiful Red Rocks of Colorado! The poster will be available to patrons who are first to donate 20 non-perishable food items or a suggested monetary donation to the food drive.

HOW TO DONATE: All food donations will be collected at the Trading Post where Conscious Alliance volunteers will accept your non-perishable food donations or suggested monetary donation in exchange for the ‘Art That Feeds’ event poster. We will also have a booth inside at the top of the venue throughout the show where patrons can make a monetary donation for the poster.

The Conscious Alliance booth at the Trading Post will open at 4:30PM on Friday & Saturday, and at 2:30PM on Sunday. Our second booth located inside the venue will be open throughout the show.

Our Impact

  • Since 2002, we have distributed over 2.3 million meals to food banks nationwide.
  • We distribute bags of groceries to 50 families every week through our Food Sovereignty and Youth Empowerment Center on Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota.
  • Our ‘Art That Feeds’ Food Drives serve as a youth empowerment platform, generating over 7,000 hours of volunteer time and over 65,000 meals annually.
  • Our school garden program offers over 700 students at Pine Ridge School in South Dakota access to learn how to garden as well as enjoy the healthy harvest.
  • Our family garden program makes fresh produce a reality for over 35 people who live on Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. This community has only one full-service grocery store.
  • Since 2015, all 250 students at Loneman School on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation receive nourishment for the weekend through our ‘Bring Nutrition Home’ backpack program. This is one of the nation’s first all-natural backpack programs and it serves a school where 100% of the students are on Free or Reduced Lunch and nearly half are homeless. The program is made possible by generous donations from our natural food sponsors.

Our Free Stores are generously supported by individuals and major partners such as Bed Bath and Beyond, PrAna, Montrail, and Mountain Hardware and distribute over $60,000 worth of goods.
  • Our ‘Art that Feeds’ workshops inspire and empower youth through connecting them with art and music. The workshops vary from making art out of repurposed skateboards to creating a Lakota hand-drum from scratch, however, in all the workshops, art or music are used as the vehicle that engage the younger generation in activities that will increase their self-esteem and inspire the use of their talents and aspirations.
  • Over 200 youth have participated in our ‘Art that Feeds’ workshops. These workshops use art or music as the vehicle to engage the younger generation in activities that will increase their self-esteem and inspire the use of their talents and aspirations.”
