You can buy Ringo Starr's art at a Milwaukee gallery — and take a photo with him
You can get some "Peace and Love" from Ringo Starr — literally — and meet the legendary Beatle himself in Milwaukee next month.
Ringo Starr & His All Starr Band are coming to the BMO Harris Pavilion on the Summerfest grounds Sept. 8.
But from Sept. 6 to 8, Gallery 505, at 517 E. Silver Spring Drive in Whitefish Bay, will host a free Ringo Starr Fine Art Show.
Among the pieces on display is "Peace & Love," which depicts Starr, holding up spray cans, writing out his signature mantra.
That item, and every other on display, is signed by Starr, and will be available for purchase at Gallery 505. Customers who purchase select artwork will be able to meet Starr and take a photo with him before his Milwaukee concert.
All of Starr's proceeds will be donated to the Lotus Foundation, which provides funding and support to help victims of domestic and substance abuse, the homeless and other needs.
The free exhibit will be open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sept. 6 and 7, and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sept. 8.
Tickets for Starr's show — which will feature Colin Hay, Toto's Steve Lukather and Santana and Journey co-founder Gregg Rolie — are $55 to $125, available at the Summerfest box office (200 N. Harbor Drive), by calling (800) 745-3000 or visiting ticketmaster.com.
