STOCKBRIDGE, Mass. — The Red Lion Inn and the Norman Rockwell Museum to co-present the exhibit, "Ride the Thunder."
 
The iconic artworks of British Illustrator Ralph Steadman and the groundbreaking literary works of Hunter S. Thompson take center stage in the exhibit that includes never-before-seen pieces, curated by M. A. Cash. Ride the Thunder, co-presented by Theory Wellness, will be open to the public from August 20 through October 31, 2023, at The Red Lion Inn. 
 
"We are overjoyed to welcome this captivating exhibit to our hotel for a ten-week residency," said Sarah Eustis, CEO and Founder of Main Street Hospitality. "Filled with rich history and unrivaled character paired with our steadfast commitment to the arts, the Red Lion Inn is the perfect backdrop to showcase the inspiring Ride the Thunder collection."
 
The exhibit will showcase 50 original pieces from "The Kentucky Derby," the seminal article that resulted from Steadman and Thompson's Louisville experience at the Kentucky Derby, alongside "Fear and Loathing," a psychedelic journey to the heart of the American dream. 
 
The work is generally considered the epitome of Gonzo Journalism, a term coined by Boston Globe writer, William Joseph Cardosa.
 
"After spending ample time in the Berkshires, it's evident that The Red Lion Inn is a masterpiece in itself; an iron skillet with 250 years of stories, simmering with layers of flavors," said M. A. Cash.
