Trey Anastasio


Trey Anastasio
Untitled (Bar 17 album cover art)
2002
limited edition lithograph, 65/200
24”x17"
Value: $700

This lithograph is the last one available for sale by BCA and is hand-signed by artist. The original painting was created for a Burlington City Arts’ benefit in 2002.

Since 2006, Trey has focused his philanthropic efforts on the Seven Below Arts Initiative, donating a portion of concert proceeds and full use of The Barn to Burlington City Arts' artist-in-residency program. Seven Below is grounded in a partnership with BCA, a relationship that began in 2001, when Trey created a series of prints to help BCA raise money to support the visual arts in Burlington. Limited edition lithographs, such as the one being auctioned here, were later made of the prints and sold to benefit BCA when Trey performed at Burlington's Memorial Auditorium as part of the annual Discover Jazz Festival. (These prints are also featured on the cover of Trey's recent studio work, Bar 17 and the bonus album 18 Steps).

Beginning in 2006, The Barn was transformed from a commercial recording facility into a studio environment providing accommodations and work space for artists participating in the Seven Below residency program. Drawing from the talent and expertise of its resident artists, Seven Below is working with BCA to sponsor arts education activities for audiences of all ages.
