This is a small (11.5 x 12.75 inch) poster created by the band Widespread Panic and artist Chuck Sperry to raise money for a couple of good causes. There were two prints in this series. This one reads "Widespread Peace" and a blue one reads "Widespread Kindness." The prints that Panic sold raised money for an organization called Nuci's Space, which provides free and low-cost mental and medical care for musicians. The edition Chuck sold, of which this is # 161/200, raised money for Conscious Alliance's COVID-19 Response Fund. Both editions quickly sold out.
As a footnote, usually Chuck prints all his own stuff, but this was printed by Leon Leathers of RubySue Graphics of Athens, Georgia, which screenprints a lot of t-shirts for bands like Widespread Panic and REM, and companies like Coca-Cola. I like how it's slightly out of register on the right edge of the flower in the last photo. ;-)
Appropriate. Very cool.
Peace to all.
