Mattson Family Art Benefit | Surfindian Gallery San Diego, CA

Mattson Family Art Benefit Poster

Poster Art by Julie Goldstein, designed by Mark Tesi

The surf/art communities have banded together to help the parents of the Mattson 2, a stylish mod duo formed by twin brothers Jonathan (drums) and Jared Mattson (guitar). The Mattson 2 keep a relentless schedule playing and recording their own music while also supporting various surf realted events, movies, art shows, and shops across the world. Their father Jan has been diagnosed with colon cancer, and their mother Arlene had surgery in February to remove a brain tumor. With both parents being self employed, a silent auction art benefit has been formed to help cover some of Jan and Arlene’s medical expenses.

For the past few months my wife Jamie has helped to organize art for the show. She has received work from both coasts and abroad. Our home is now stacked with some amazing pieces that we will be driving to San Diego next week to hang with Chris Rule of Surfindian. Road trip! Looking forward to June 26th. Hope to see some of you there.
