Ringo's new artwork will feature 'Self Portraits' from his early days to present day, as well as a new series of Peace Signs, all depicted in his bright and colorful palette. As always, Ringo's proceeds will benefit the Lotus US Foundation Charity, which funds, supports, participates in, and promotes charitable projects aimed at advancing social welfare in diverse areas.
Ocean Galleries will host the exhibition featuring Ringo's artwork in the Stone Harbor gallery location beginning Friday, June 13 through Sunday, June 15, 2014. Anyone who acquires Ringo's artwork throughout the exhibition run will have the opportunity to meet and have a photo taken with the legendary artist at a private reception on Saturday, June 21 prior to the All Starr Band's performance at Caesars in Atlantic City.
