Arete Gallery

Friends of Arete Gallery we will be CLOSED Sunday July 5! Team is on Vacation back open later this week

Arete Gallery’s mission is to showcase the stories and works of artists devoted to healing humanity—and today, we pause with grateful hearts.

It is with deep sorrow that we share the passing of Doug Field Those of you who may not know, Doug was a beloved artist of the Grateful Dead Back in the days when we eagerly awaited tickets arriving through the U.S. Mail, it was Doug’s artwork that greeted us first—an envelope transformed into an experience, a piece of art before the music even began.

His work found its way into Grateful Dead books, People Magazine, and countless other publications, leaving an imprint on generations of fans and collectors alike.

As we reflect on his life, we’re reminded “what a long, strange trip it’s been.” And now, as he “rises up to paradise,” we honor the beauty he gave this world, the creativity he shared, and the joy he helped deliver to so many.

We are grateful. We remember. We celebrate. ☮️ ❤️

Please keep Doug’s family in your hearts during this time. 🌺
