Stanley Mouse Poster Helps Micky Hart with Haiti fundraiser
Posted on February 16, 2010We’re very glad Stanley Mouse has joined us for the Resident Artist Program here at Pelican Art Gallery.
Poster for Heartbeat for Haiti on 2/13/2010
Stanley Mouse created this poster to assist Grateful Dead drummer Micky Hart with his fundraiser on 2/13/2010 called Heartbeat for Haiti. At the Gallery the same night we raised $150 towards the cause.
As part of our current group show of our Masters of Today, Stanley provided the original painting that inspired the poster. You can stop by the Gallery to see both the original painting and the signed poster. It’s really amazing how much artwork Stanley donates to this type of fundraising. We’re proud to represent such a wonderful artist.
