A special magic happens when music, lyricism, and visual expression collide. Opening this fall at the historic Sagamore Art Hotel in South Beach, Sky Yellow / Sun Blue: The Art of "Scarlet Begonias" and the Ecstatic Vision of the Grateful Dead brings that radiant spirit to life. Running from October 1 through November 20, 2026, the exhibition celebrates the enduring inspiration, color, and joyous communion found within the Grateful Dead universe.

Curated by veteran music journalist, photographer, and filmmaker Steven R. Hurlburt, the show explores 15 visual interpretations by 15 different artists of the classic lyric from "Scarlet Begonias": "The sky was yellow and the sun was blue." The exhibition serves as a dynamic prelude to the upcoming companion book, scheduled for release in December 2026.
