Explore our newly formed non-profit
Thank you to everyone who came out last weekend to celebrate the opening of “Pacific Vibrations” and the extraordinary life’s work of Rick Griffin.
Seeing so many people gather to honor @rickgriffindesigns legacy was a powerful reminder that the art, ideas, and communities he helped shape continue to ripple through culture today. From longtime friends and collaborators to a new generation discovering his work for the first time, the gallery was filled with exactly the kind of energy Rick inspired throughout his life.
We’re deeply grateful to the Griffin Estate for trusting us with Rick’s legacy, to Stacey Peralta and Sam George for bringing his story to the screen, to the @adlersmithgallery for opening their walls to this exhibition, and to every artist, collector, volunteer, and friend who helped make this weekend possible.
Having legends like @peraltastacy @thetonyalva1957 @jenstark @banjoglass @jimevanstaz_official @johnvanhamersveld.art and many more in the room alongside those who have kept Rick’s fire burning was a beautiful reminder that the worlds of surf, skateboarding, psychedelia, music, and art have never been separate.
The cameras are rolling, the documentary is underway, and this is only the beginning!
Thank you for helping us preserve, celebrate, and carry forward the fire behind the man and the mystic.
See you on the other side! 🌀
A journey through the infinite worlds of @colinprahl new WIP 🚧
On Saturday, July 18, we’re proud to debut “Pacific Vibrations,” a mini-retrospective celebrating the life and work of @rickgriffindesigns at the @adlersmithgallery in Santa Monica, California.
Working closely with the Griffin Estate to help preserve and share Rick’s extraordinary legacy has been one of the greatest honors of our career. From surf culture and rock posters to comics, spiritual imagery, and some of the defining visuals of the psychedelic movement, Griffin’s work continues to inspire generations of artists, musicians, surfers, skaters, and magic-seekers alike.
The exhibition is curated by The Chambers Project, and produced in collaboration with the Rick Griffin PACT, and Stacey Peralta, @peraltastacy the legendary Dogtown Z-Boy and acclaimed documentary filmmaker. The opening will also be filmed as part of our forthcoming documentary on Rick Griffin, which Stacey is directing with Sam George, in partnership with the Rick Griffin PACT.
To mark the occasion, we’re dropping a new collection of Crying Eye shirts tomorrow, all of which will be available at @tcp_merch and on our website, as well as in-person at the opening.
So come on out LA and let’s party!
In the words of Leighton Kelly:
Oh snap! My posters just came and I was so excited I fell down. I got a gig for a little local band name of PRIMUS, you heard of them? - and Frog Brigade and Claypool Lennon Delirium. They’re playing their last show tonight (4th of July) in Napa. They’re selling the posters at the show and I’ll have artist editions for only the best and greatest people.
4 variants 6 layer silkscreen, printed by the incredible @monolithpress. I was blessed this gig by the incredible @zoltron who will be having his own show at @the_chambers_project gallery on Halloween-not to be missed.
You’ll be able to buy these posters at the zoltron store soon- 60 editions of the regular, 30 editions of rainbow foil, 25 editions of firework foil and one special edition of 20 revealed later⚡️ I’ll be there tonight so maybe I’ll see you magnificent animals.
After more than twenty years of searching, The Chambers Project has acquired Dion Wright’s legendary “Taxonomic Mandala,” a piece that witnessed one of the most iconic chapters of psychedelic history.
Throughout the 1960s and ‘70s, this original hung in the meditation room of the Brotherhood of Eternal Love, the Laguna Beach collective whose influence shaped the psychedelic movement. Known as the “Hippie Mafia,” this group became known for allocating millions of “Orange Sunshine” hits around the world.
After restoration, it will hang in our main gallery in Grass Valley, continuing its journey as both a remarkable work of art and a tangible artifact from one of the most influential eras in psychedelic history.
Now it’s time to get to work restoring this legendary piece of art history to its eternal glory 👊👊👊
@questglass presents: “For the Love of Glass,” an exhibition celebrating the living tradition of American borosilicate glass art.
Curated by Johnny Quest, a contemporary lampworker who began his journey at age 16 in Dallas, Texas, “For the Love of Glass” presents a substantial body of Quest’s solo work alongside a curated selection of collaborations with artists who have shaped his practice.
These collaborations, with artists like @alexubatuba @bubbasface @credoglass @carlsonjones @erin.bourguignon @fumegazi @fritglass @haapsglass @_powerpat @renz_craft @sleek___ @stormin___norman are more than technical partnerships. These works reflect years of friendship, inspiration, shared knowledge, and mutual respect among makers dedicated to advancing the art of borosilicate glass.
Join us on Saturday August 8th, 2026, at The Chambers Project gallery in Grass Valley, CA to celebrate this wild work of this wonderful art form in style.

@ajmasthay on the art of imperfection ✨
Known for his unique print style of creating some of the most iconic gig posters in the world, Masthay intentionally pushes the screenprinting process into unpredictable territory, layering dozens of colors and techniques in ways that make fatal mistakes a real possibility. Every print carries subtle variations and tactile evidence of the artist’s winding journey.
In an era where mediocre, flawless images can be generated endlessly, he believes inconsistency has become an invaluable currency of authenticity.
Work in progress by the one and only @damonsoule . This one is a monster🏆🏆
WIP of @colinprahl largest piece to date 🏙️✨
Join us on June 19th at @thecenterforthearts in downtown Grass Valley for the opening of “Ripple Effect: Art + Music + Psychedelia,” an immersive exhibition exploring the enduring influence of the psychedelic movement across art, music, and culture.
Co-curated by Sarah Coleman and Brian Chambers, the exhibition brings together historic and contemporary works that trace the moment when psychedelic experience began reshaping the creative landscape.
At the heart of the exhibition is a selection of works from The Chambers Project, whose artists have helped define and expand the language of contemporary psychedelic art for a new generation.
More than a retrospective, “Ripple Effect” examines how a cultural movement continues to reverberate through the present, influencing the way we create, connect, and imagine.
This is a FREE all-ages event. We hope you’ll join us!

Heady is as heady does 💀🌀🌹Brian + Banjo rippin @banjoglass interpretations of @rickgriffindesigns “Hawaiian Aoxomoxoa” at the closing party for @the_chambers_project “60 Years of the Grateful Dead” retrospective 🔥 Happy Friday y’all!
That’s a wrap, folks! 🥀
Huge thanks to everyone who came out for the closing party of our “60 Years of the Grateful Dead” retrospective and helped us send this wild thing off in style.
What began as an exhibition became something much bigger: a gathering place for the art, music, stories, and community that continue to ripple out from the Grateful Dead’s long strange trip.
We’re beyond grateful to everyone who showed up, shared memories, danced, enjoyed art, played music, and made this experience what it was.
Stay turned on and tuned in! We’ll be announcing our next exhibition soon. The trip continues 🌀
Tomorrow, Saturday 5/23, is your LAST CHANCE to see our “60 Years of the Grateful Dead” retrospective before it’s gone.
Six decades in the making, this landmark exhibition celebrates the culture born from the band’s psychedelic odyssey, spiraling all the way back to their first show on December 4, 1965.
Fully licensed and endorsed by the Grateful Dead, the show is a visual feast of original album art, concert posters, and rare treasures, many of which have never been seen before.
Join us tomorrow from 12–7pm for the closing party as we celebrate the music, the art, and our wild, wonderful community.
Expect a family-friendly afternoon of phenomenal art, live music by @love_mischief, BBQ by @zaltbbq, delicious drinks, games, and face painting by some surprise guests 🧑🎨
We’ll also have epic deals on GD60 merch, blotters, prints, and more.
SEE YOU THERE!!

Dennis Larkins is one of the great architects of psychedelic live performance. Through towering hand-painted sets and immersive visual environments, @startlingart_dennis_larkins helped turn concerts into alternate realities for bands like Led Zeppelin, Santana, The Rolling Stones, and of course, the Grateful Dead.
For the opening of our “60 Years of the Grateful Dead” retrospective back in December, Brian Chambers commissioned this epic three-dimensional piece, entitled “Magic Bu,s” with hopes of it becoming the official poster for the show.
Created using a proprietary mix of materials he’s been working on perfecting for forty years, it depicts countercultural legends parked at the Highway 49 crossing over the iconic Yuba River in Nevada County, where the gallery is located.
A conflict ultimately prevented us from being able to make this piece the official poster for this show, but that doesn’t make it any less iconic.
Dennis Larkins tells the story.
On September 22, 1967, the Grateful Dead played their first show in Denver at the newly opened Family Dog, the psychedelic outpost founded by Chet Helms. For the occasion, artist Dennis Nolan created one of the era’s most unforgettable posters, hiding the words “Grateful Dead” inside a set of grinning teeth.
The night marked a turning point in more ways than one. It was among the first shows to formally include Mickey Hart as a member of the band, expanding the Dead’s rhythm section into the thunderous, shape-shifting force that would define their sound for decades to come.
Brian Chambers tells the story.
The Summer of 1990 marked a profound turning point in the world of the Grateful Dead, a moment where the band’s orbit seemed to stretch farther than ever before 🛸
The Europe ’90 tour expanded the band’s reach across the globe, but it would also quietly mark the closing chapter of one of the most legendary creative relationships in countercultural history: Rick Griffin @rickgriffindesigns creating artwork for the Grateful Dead 🥀
Before his tragic motorcycle accident in 1991, Griffin completed three final works tied to this era: “Leaping Tiger,” the cover for “Without a Net,” and the iconic “Europe 1990” painting.
Brian Chambers tells the story.
15 years ago today. “Afterglow” by @mars_1_ 🪐✨
Ralph Steadman @steadmanart has been a critical and foundational character in my life since discovering his work in 1995. I literally can’t imagine my life or where I’d be without him.
Happy 90th trip around the sun ol’ pal! Thanks for everything and long live the king! 👑
The last pic is from when we celebrated Ralph’s 80th birthday at Chequer’s bar in Maidstone, UK, in walking distance from his house.
Rick Griffin’s “Crying Eye” is a defining image of psychedelic art. Throughout his career, Griffin returned to it repeatedly, with each iteration reflecting the evolution of his artistic and spiritual journey.
The “Crying Eye” is a symbol of divine awareness, and the challenging realization that beauty and suffering are inseparable.
It’s also the symbol we’ve chosen to represent The Chambers Project, and the values that guide our work in celebrating, preserving, and proliferating the complex subculture that is psychedelic art. We’re honored to work closely with the Griffin Estate in helping preserve and share Rick’s extraordinary legacy.
To celebrate the opening of “Pacific Vibrations,” our mini @rickgriffindesigns retrospective at the @adlersmithgallery in Santa Monica on Friday, July 18th, we’re releasing a brand new collection of Crying Eye shirts.
Available in Tie-dye or Black Stonewash, this is a limited edition run of 200 one-of-a-kind organic cotton shirts. Each shirt is an art piece of its own. The 100 tie-dyed shirts are hand-dyed by @sweet_dyes_sweet_vibes in Boulder, Colorado, and all shirts are hand-printed by @farmfreshshirts in Sebastopol, California.
The exhibition is curated by The Chambers Project, and produced by The Rick Griffin PACT in collaboration with Stacey Peralta, the legendary Dogtown Z-Boy, whose pioneering role in skateboarding helped redefine youth culture in the 1970s before he went on to become one of an acclaimed subcultural documentary filmmaker.
The opening will also be filmed as part of our forthcoming documentary on Rick Griffin, which Stacey is directing with Sam George in partnership with The Rick Griffin PACT.
Shop the shirts through this post @tcp.merch on our website and in person at the exhibition in LA!
