Drummer will appear at Wentworth Galleries in the Northeast
Rick Allen, legendary drummer of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductees Def Leppard, will be making two special appearances next month at the Wentworth Galleries in Atlantic City and King of Prussia to celebrate his newest creations. Allen will appear on Saturday, July 10th at Wentworth Gallery in the Hard Rock Casino & Hotel in Atlantic City in addition to Sunday, July 11th at Wentworth Gallery in the King of Prussia Mall. These events are open to the public and follow the latest CDC recommendations.
This new and extraordinary collection houses originals, limited editions, the painted drum series, mixed media originals, plus the “Legends Series,” featuring new portraits of Eddie Van Halen, Kurt Cobain and Johnny Cash. A portion of each sale will benefit his Project Resiliency where for over the last 12 years Rick and his wife Lauren Monroe have worked passionately with veterans from Vietnam, Desert Storm, Iraq and Afghanistan. Allen and Wentworth Galleries will donate a portion of each and every acquisition to benefit the Foundation.
“I am honored to host Rick and his art at my galleries. His art not only represents his own story of perseverance, resiliency and the human spirit but is also a beacon of hope for others,” shares Christian O’Mahony, Principal Wentworth Gallery.
“Music, Art and Photography have been passions of mine since I was a boy. My life has been a journey of transformation and my art is a reflection of the many facets of dreams and perceptions that have shaped me. Each piece has a story and a connection to my life from my roots in England, my life changing car accident, journey to America, travels around the globe and to my deep connection to Wounded Warriors and their struggle to heal. The collection intends to express messages of hope, transcendence and the human condition.” states Rick Allen.
Last month, Allen appeared on The Music Universe Podcast to discuss his art and his first fine art tour in Florida.
Allen is promoting his unique artwork this summer as The Stadium Tour featuring Def Leppard, Mötley Crüe, Poison and Joan Jett & The Blackhearts has been rescheduled for 2022 instead of this summer. The trek was set to kick off June 19th in Nashville, but now will begin June 16, 2022 in Atlanta and wrap September 7th in San Francisco.
