The exhibition, "Love, Peace and the Psychedelic Sixties," will open June 6 with a First Friday reception from 5-7 p.m. The event is free and the public is invited. The exhibition is made up of three segments. The largest component consists of works that adhere to the mythologized vision of the 1960s that exists in the popular imagination. These are colorful, dream-like and even psychedelic. The exhibition gives the sense of experimentation, vigor and youthful energy associated with the era. In protest of the Vietnam War hundreds of thousands of Americans rallied in the streets in the late-1960s. The exhibition includes a Vietnam portfolio with works of poetry and art created in 1967 to protest the war. From Ad Reinhardt's appeal to U.S. leaders to end the violence through words printed on airmail stationery to Louise Nevelson's industrial-looking arsenal, artists express their dissent through print media. Music was central to the '60s experience. Musicians participated in civil rights rallies and anti-war protests. Large crowds gathered to hear groups like the Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, the Grateful Dead and the Rolling Stones. The final segment of the exhibition is a series of music posters that were created by Family Dog in San Francisco to advertise upcoming concerts and appearances. Posters selected for the exhibition exemplify the range of creative expression using color and psychedelic designs and graphics. In conjunction with the exhibition, the Mary Riepma Ross Media Arts Center will present 1960s films in its Movies on the Green series beginning July 17, and running for six consecutive weeks.
