With the legalization of cannabis and the growing popularity of psychoactive mushrooms, it really comes as no surprise that the psychedelic art movement is also steadily coming into the spotlight again. Brian Chambers, the gallery owner of The Chambers Project/PACT, is a leading curator championing the psychedelic art movement and bringing it to a new generation. Chambers' journey began with inspiration from Ralph Steadman and led to collaborations with visionary artists like Roger Dean and Rick Griffin.
Chambers curates experiences that blend art, culture, and education, blurring boundaries and untimely making psychedelic art more accessible to a general audience. The curator's work is said to represent a renaissance in psychedelic art, driven by genuine passion and respect. Chambers also has an upcoming exhibition on March 9th, titled GODFATHERS and described as "An Exploration Into Psychedelic, Counterculture, Rock & Roll Art History at The Chambers Project."
