Join us October 21, 2023 for The Rock Poster Society, Festival of Posters in San Francisco’s beautiful Golden Gate Park.

Returning to San Francisco from my headline grabbing, sold out Harman Projects’ solo show at Seattle Art Fair, I’m excited to bring the love to San Francisco! The Seattle Times described the scene: “The booth of New York’s Harman Projects was especially popular, drawing a crowd that spilled out into the aisles waiting patiently for their turn to see the art. Some had traveled from as far as Florida to purchase artwork by Chuck Sperry, famed for his art nouveau-stvle concert posters for bands like Pearl Jam and The Who.”

Last year I exhibited work at the Virginia Museum of History and Culture, Schneider Museum of Art, Fort Wayne Museum of Art acquired my special permanent collection, and the Fine Art Museums of San Francisco honored me with a lifetime membership in recognition of my pieces in the Achenbach Graphic Arts Foundation Archive within their permanent collection. Shows in Geneva, Amsterdam and Paris took my art worldwide and my supporters traveled to share events for another spectacular year.

I’ve had a busy year forging instant classics, and striving to make the poster community a fair forum by being the first artist to employ a machine-learning launch platform. That platform, EQL uses artificial intelligence to recognize and shut down bots, provides tools for blocking instant resellers, and insures that my launched prints get into the hands of loyal collectors. Talented artist Marq Spusta followed my lead, and more artists are sure to follow me into the future of art launches using artificial intelligence to make sure releases are run fairly.

I’ll have a very limited offering of recent posters: my final Edwardian Ball poster, Widespread Panic “Venus” literally broke the internet. Dave Matthews, “Bacchante” stole the show at the Gorge, Greensky Bluegrass “Mystic” became an instant favorite Red Rocks poster.

Of course, I’ll have available copies of my four recent art books: 750+ page rock poster compendium: “Color x Color, The Sperry Poster Archive 1980-2020”• “Idyllion”• “Chthoneon”• “Helikon”• and my Collectible Card Sets, Series 1 and 2.

I will have many surprises, rarities, variants, one-of-a-kind test prints, black & white tests, wood panels and blotters — from Pearl Jam to Panic — to offer exclusively at TRPS on Saturday, October 21, 2023!

San Francisco’s annual Fall Clas­sic, the The Rock Poster Society’s Fes­ti­val of Rock Posters is set to go for Sat­ur­day, Octo­ber 21th, 2023 at the San Fran­cisco County Fair Build­ing (aka Hall of Flow­ers) in beau­ti­ful Golden Gate Park.

Fea­tur­ing legendary rock poster artists and deal­ers from around the coun­try, this is the biggest rock poster event of its kind any­where. Those of you who have attended this show in the past know that this is the one not to miss. We bring in the best of the best, and you’ll find every­thing from vin­tage psy­che­delic trea­sures to the best of the mod­ern silkscreen move­ment. This year’s ver­sion promises to offer another stel­lar lineup.

The loca­tion is at the cor­ner of Ninth and Lin­coln on the South edge of the Park, not far from the Haight, the DeY­oung Museum, and the Acad­emy of Sci­ences. There are plenty of great restau­rants close by, too. Make it a week­end and bring the fam­ily to enjoy the great weather, an awe­some poster event, and every­thing else San Fran­cisco has to offer.

Join us October 15, 2022 for The Rock Poster Society, Festival of Posters in San Francisco’s beautiful Golden Gate Park.

Returning to San Francisco from my magnificent, sold out Harman Projects’ solo show at Mirus Gallery of Denver, I’m excited to bring the love to San Francisco! Maybe you can pick up some of those prints you missed at TRPS.

I’ll be making a limited release of my signed and numbered, Gold Edition of “Idyllion, The Art of Chuck Sperry”. I’ll have the Silver Edition available as well. My online release of “Idyllion” will follow on Sunday, October 16, 2022 at a random time on my website.

Of course, I’ll have available copies of my 750+ page rock poster compendium: “Color x Color, The Sperry Poster Archive 1980-2020”

Also at my booth, I’ll be offering a limited release of my “Collectible Card Sets, Poster Series 1”. The online release for this popular item was last week. TRPS may be the last time you’ll have a chance at “Poster Series 1”!

My gorgeous, large format blotters, “Sappho” and “Syrinx” beautifully produced by BC Blotter Co will be available, and will not be offered with an online release. So this is your special opportunity!

Last but not least: I will have many surprises, rarities, variants, one-of-a-kind test prints, and black & white tests — from Pearl Jam to Panic — to offer exclusively at TRPS on Saturday, October 15, 2022!
