Rick Allen announces additional fine art tour stops

Drummer will make appearances in Washington DC area, New York/New Jersey and Atlanta

Def Leppard drummer Rick Allen will be making a number of special appearances this month at the Wentworth Galleries celebrating his fine art creations. He will appear in McLean, VA on October 23rd, Bethesda, MD on October 24th, Short Hills, NJ on November 20th, and then will wrap on December 11th in Atlanta. Each event is open to the public and will follow the latest CDC safety 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.

“Music, art and photography have been passions of mine since I was a boy,” Allen shares. “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.”

Allen appeared on The Music Universe Podcast to discuss his art and his first fine art tour in Florida earlier this summer.

Allen is promoting his unique artwork 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.
