Fandiem Relics has launched the Jerry Garcia Birthday Collection, a curated release of museum-quality limited edition fine art prints celebrating the visual artwork of Jerry Garcia. Timed with the Days Between, the collection will also support WhyHunger and its mission to end hunger. Every print sold will include an official certificate of cuthenticity from The Jerry Garcia Foundation and an exclusive Jerry Garcia coloring book.
Garcia had a lifelong interest in fine art and focused on the medium in a more professional setting later in life. As the Jerry Garcia Birthday Collection’s announcement explains, “Long before he picked up a guitar, Garcia picked up a pencil. Throughout his life he continued to draw, paint and experiment across watercolor, ink, pencil, marker, airbrush and digital media, creating a deeply personal body of work that reflected the same imagination, curiosity and spirit of improvisation that defined his music.”
The Fandiem Relics Jerry Garcia Birthday Collection features a curated selection of Garcia’s artwork reproduced as museum quality giclée prints, including limited-edition numbered works and select rare artist proof editions. Each print is produced on premium 17 x 22 inch Somerset Velvet 100% cotton rag fine art paper, with numbered editions limited to only 500 prints worldwide. As mentioned above, every piece also includes an official certificate of authenticity from The Jerry Garcia Foundation, individually numbered within the edition and signed by Jerry’s daughter Keelin and his wife Manasha. Collectors will also receive an exclusive Jerry Garcia coloring book celebrating his artistic legacy.
“This collection invites fans to experience Jerry’s creativity through a different lens,” Jared Heiman, Fandiem co-founder said along the collection’s announce. “His artwork reveals the same sense of curiosity, exploration and joy that people have connected with through his music for generations. We are honored to help celebrate Jerry’s birthday by sharing this remarkable collection while supporting an organization whose mission reflects the values of compassion and community that meant so much to him.”
A portion of proceeds from the collection will benefit WhyHunger, a nonprofit organization dedicated to ending hunger and addressing the root causes of food insecurity through community driven solutions.
“Jerry believed deeply in the power of community and the importance of caring for others,” Holly MacDonald, Head of Artists Against Hunger & Poverty at WhyHunger, said in a statement. “We are grateful to The Jerry Garcia Foundation and Fandiem Relics for helping turn Jerry’s creativity into meaningful impact by nourishing people struggling with hunger today while advancing a more just, hunger-free future for us all.”
The collection is now live exclusively through Fandiem Relics. Early bird pricing will be available for a limited time.
