Art Amplified at the New Hope Arts Center runs through March 23rd

New Hope, PA – Art Amplified is in full swing at New Hope Arts, offering visitors a rare opportunity to experience the intersection of music and visual art like never before. This electrifying exhibition showcases an extraordinary collection of music memorabilia, including iconic pieces from legendary concert promoter Bill Graham, generously shared by his son David Graham. Among the highlights is the original painting for the Grateful Dead album Dead Set, a must-see for music and art lovers alike.

Adding to the excitement is an exclusive artifact steeped in rock history—an original painting by artist Kelly Sullivan, co-created with the Rolling Stones and their guests at a private party in San Francisco. This unique collaborative artwork captures the raw, spontaneous energy of an era that redefined music and culture.

Beyond these historic pieces, Art Amplified also features music-inspired artwork by 30 local artists, celebrating the deep connection between visual art and sound. From bold, expressive paintings to intricate mixed-media works, this diverse collection highlights the ways in which music fuels creativity across artistic disciplines.

But Art Amplified is more than just an exhibition—it’s an immersive experience. A dynamic lineup of live music events accompanies the show, making every visit unique. Our recent Band of Changes concert on March 1st kicked off this thrilling series, and more performances are on the horizon:

March 8, 3-5 PM – Open Mic for All Ages, hosted by Clover Stieve
March 15, 4-5 PM – Four Hand Classical Piano Concert, featuring James Goldsworthy & Alina Rabchuk

All events take place during gallery hours and are open to the public, with a $10 suggested donation at the door.
