We’re honored to share that this Saturday, during the opening of “Glass is Dead: A Grateful Pipe Exhibition,” curated by @banjoglass ✨ @furtherrrcollective will be completing the live painting they began at our “60 Years of the Grateful Dead” opening in December.
Founded by Mars-1, Damon Soule, David Choong Lee, NoMe Edonna, and Oliver Vernon, this legendary collective merges five distinct visual languages into one interdimensional field of color and form.
Each artist is a powerhouse. Together, they transcend into another dimension entirely. Their combined styles, from Op art to the cosmically surreal, fold into one another, creating vast psychedelic terrains that feel alive and deeply interconnected ✨
Come experience this masterpiece as it’s completed in real time and get your tickets to “Glass is Dead” now 🌀

In part two, @banjoglass breaks down the wild history of glass blowing, from the Italian island of Murano in the 13th century to the Dead lots of the 1990s ⚡️

On this day in 1966, the Trips Festival swallowed Longshoreman’s Hall in San Francisco for three straight days, merging sound, light, film, and chemical curiosity into what became the largest and most formative Acid Test of all.
Dreamt up by Ken Kesey, Stewart Brand, and Ramon Sender, with production support from Bill Graham and the Merry Pranksters, the festival drew an estimated 10,000 people to the old sailor’s union building in the hazy heart of Fisherman’s Warf.
Newly-formed bands like The Grateful Dead and Big Brother & the Holding Company electrified the room, while a giant bowl of acid-spiked punch transformed the crowd. Experimental filmmakers and light artists including Tony Martin, Robert Frank, and other Bay Area visionaries drenched the hall in projections and strobes, completing the sensory takeover.
The Trips Festival pulled psychedelia out of the underground, hurling into the face of mainstream consciousness. It helped launch the Haight-Ashbury scene, rewrote the rules of live performance, and cemented San Francisco as the psychedelic capital of America.
Its legacy lives on in experiential art, festival culture, and the enduring, countercultural belief that the audience isn’t just watching the show, they’re a part of it.
Come see this original piece of psychedelic history as part of our “60 Years of the Grateful Dead” retrospective, up now through June in Grass Valley, CA ⚡️
@banjoglass on Bob Snodgrass and the inception of functional glass in the Dead lots of the 1990s⚡️
Join us Saturday, January 31st for “Glass is Dead: A Grateful Pipe Show,” curated by @banjoglass that honors the history of this folk art phenomenon, from Bob’s color-changing p!pes to the modern masters of today.
Part one of the video by @seatsontitanic titanic Stay tuned for part two later this week!
On this day in 1967, Timothy Leary delivered his now-iconic call to “Turn on, tune in, drop out” at the Human Be-In in Golden Gate Park.
The gathering fused the Bay Area subcultures of the era, from Berkeley radicals and Hells Angels to mystics and Diggers, with the psychedelic luminaries of the Beat Generation and “all the rock bands in San Francisco.”
The event would serve as the unofficial kickoff to the brief but monumental Summer of Love.
The piece shown here is the first major poster by artist Rick Griffin, and acted as the catalyst for Griffin’s ascent as a defining figure of the emerging psychedelic poster movement.
Brian Chambers tells the story.
Sometimes the light’s all shinin’ on me
Other times I can barely see
Lately it occurs to me
What a long, strange trip it’s been
🌹
Fare thee well, Bobby. Thanks for 60 years of music and light ⚡️⚡️⚡️
Sixty years ago today, on January 8, 1966, one of the early Acid Tests unfolded in California. Hosted by Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters, these gatherings collapsed the boundaries between art, sound, and experience, then spiked it all with Owsley’s electric Kool-Aid. This freewheeling brand of experimental chaos became a blueprint for the counterculture that followed.
For the Grateful Dead, the Acid Tests were foundational. They weren’t playing shows in the traditional sense, they were responding in real time to a room full of people experiencing psychedelics together. The improvisational style that emerged was conversational rather than performative, creating a feedback loop between band and audience that ultimately became the defining feature of Dead performances to this day.
The ripple effects of the Acid Tests were enormous: the Haight, the Summer of Love, psychedelic poster art, immersive concerts, liquid light shows, and the broader idea of American counterculture all trace back to these experiments in consciousness. Sixty years later, we’re still trippin.
We’re proud to be showing five of the Acid Test posters, including Owsley’s personally colored and signed copy, as part of our “60 Years of the Grateful Dead” retrospective on display through June.
Come experience these iconic pieces of counterculture history. We’ll be here Monday–Friday, 10am–4pm in Grass Valley, CA ⚡️
Check out our feature in the January issue of @californialeafmag where @jacqbry sits down with Brian Chambers and @banjoglass to discuss the significance of our “60 Years of the Grateful Dead” retrospective, and what comes next.
On Saturday, January 31st, our first in-depth exploration of the artistic offshoots born from the Grateful Dead world turns to functional glass with “Glass Is Dead: A Grateful Pipe Exhibition,” curated by @banjoglass🔥
This exhibition traces the evolution of heady glass from its outlaw beginnings in Dead lots with Bob Snodgrass’ color-changing pipes, to its present standing as a rapidly growing fine art movement.
Featuring works by foundational masters alongside the contemporary artists carrying the flame, “Glass is Dead” places pipes at the forefront. Presented alongside an unprecedented exhibition of original Grateful Dead paintings, the show offers a rare opportunity to experience two deeply intertwined creative traditions in the same space.
Join us Saturday, January 31 at 5pm for a pre-show panel discussion exploring the genesis and evolution of this art form, followed by a Q&A with a soon-to-be-announced lineup of leading glass artists.
