Art from music legends like Bob Dylan, Bono, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr is set to go on display at a new art exhibition and sale in November.

Beyond the Stage: Art by Legends of Rock ‘n’ Roll, described as “the largest collection of art by iconic names in rock and roll” is opening Nov. 7 at Animazing Gallery in the Grand Canal Shoppes at The Venetian Resort Las Vegas. 

It will feature an array of drawings, sketches, paintings, unique guitars and other works of fine art from some huge names in music. Other stars with art in the exhibit include Stevie Nicks, The DoorsRobby Krieger, John Lennon, David Bowie, Jerry Garcia, Gene Simmons and Steven Tyler.

To celebrate the opening, a special event will be held at Animazing Gallery on Nov. 8, with appearances by guitarists Steve Vai and Billy Morrison, who’ll both have pieces shown at the gallery.

“I’m honored to have been invited to show my abstract art at Animazing Gallery’s exhibit along with so many inspired artists,” said Vai. “It’s a unique exhibit that explores the artistic expression of musical icons. We know their musical expressions, but at this exhibit we get to see how that translates into shapes and colors.”

The exhibit will mark the first time all these works have been shown together.

And folks who can’t make it to Vegas will still be able to enjoy the collection. The show will be available to stream at www.animazinggallery.com.
