The Chambers Project Exhibition, Psychedelic Arts and Culture Trust, Grand Opening March 9, 2024, Grass Valley, California

In the quiet town of Grass Valley, California, a vibrant narrative unfolds within the expansive gallery space of The Chambers Project. Immersed in an 8,000 sq/ft gallery space , a cultural revolution is taking shape—with the unveiling of the Psychedelic Arts and Culture Trust (PACT).

Curated by visionary Brian Chambers, PACT is not just a gallery; it’s a bridge connecting the past, celebrating the present, and shaping the future of psychedelic arts and culture. Its multidisciplinary approach sets PACT apart, transcending traditional boundaries to become a global hub for collaboration with artists and cultural brands worldwide.

PACT is more than an exhibition; it’s a movement. As it unveils ‘Godfathers: An Exploration Into Psychedelic, Counterculture, Rock & Roll Art History’ on March 9, 2024, it seeks to introduce you to an immersive experience—an exploration of the interconnectedness of art, culture, and community. PACT’s story goes beyond gallery walls and is about making a difference, fostering connections, and creating a global epicenter for arts and culture.

Born from the pages of “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas,” Chambers’ journey into the realm of psychedelic art began with a spark of inspiration ignited by the visionary works of Ralph Steadman. From there, Brian worked with some of the most visionary artists of the psychedelic art movement, including Roger Dean, Rick Griffin, Mars – 1, Jacaeber Kastor, and more. But what sets Chambers apart isn’t just his admiration for the past; it’s his keen understanding of how this vibrant art form resonates with a new generation. 

In today’s cultural landscape, psychedelic art isn’t confined to gallery walls or museum exhibits. It’s emulated through the streets (finding a new fan base in the vibrant world of streetwear fashion and creating moments within music at art festivals globally), capturing the imaginations of a diverse array of collectors and enthusiasts. Brian Chambers is at the helm of this cultural shift, curating experiences that blur the lines between art, culture, education, and contemporary expression. 

The history of psychedelic art has evolved over time, from its roots in the 1960s counterculture to its current resurgence in contemporary culture. With the newfound popularity of psychedelics comes the question: Is psychedelic art “real” art? Brian Chambers is uniquely positioned to tackle this debate head-on, drawing from his extensive knowledge of art history and his firsthand experiences in the ever-evolving landscape of psychedelic art. 

Brian Chambers is building a renaissance—a new chapter in the story of psychedelic art. From humble beginnings to global aspirations, every step has been guided by a genuine love for the work and a deep respect for its cultural significance. 

You can experience genuine psychedelic art pieces up close at this featured gallery opening in a space that will undoubtedly become a central fixture in this exciting and relevant global art movement.
