The Govinda Gallery

David Burnett's photography collection entitled 'Soul Rebel: An Intimate Portrait of Bob Marley' is on display at the National Harbor location of the Govinda Gallery.  There are two locations of the Govinda Gallery.  One is in Georgetown and the other is at the National Harbor across the water from Old Town Alexandria in Maryland.  I first came across the Govinda Gallery with my friend Ashley.  While she was living in Georgetown the two of us went to an exhibit by Henry Grossman called 'Kaleidoscope Eyes: A Day in the Life of Sgt. Pepper,' which showed an intimate depiction of the Beatles while they were recording Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.  The gallery is very small but the exhibits are primarily based around music.  Recent exhibits included Stanley Mouse' Grateful Life (Marsh drew many of the quintessential images we now associate with the Grateful Dead).  The next exhibit opens sometime after June 14th and I'm excited to see what the it will bring...hopefully something along the same lines as the killer past exhibits.  Check out the three aforementioned exhibits below: 









And for good measure I'll add my favorite song from each of these artists (although it's hard to choose just one):
