Step into the cosmic world of avant-garde jazz and psychedelic art with this vibrant “Sun Ra” towel, featuring an original concert poster design by the legendary Gary Grimshaw. Created to promote a historic performance by Sun Ra and His Myth Science Arkestra alongside MC5, this piece captures the electric fusion of Detroit’s music and art revolution in the late 1960s.
Set against a bold black cotton backdrop, the artwork bursts with radiant yellow, green, and blue hues that echo the otherworldly soundscapes of Sun Ra’s cosmic jazz. Grimshaw’s distinctive hypnotic lettering and radiating geometry pull the viewer toward the center—symbolizing both sound waves and spiritual awakening. The poster details a legendary June 18th concert at the Community Arts Auditorium, an event that became emblematic of Detroit’s creative explosion.
