Open call for Ukulele and Sitar Artwork

Submitted by admin on Monday, 17 November 2008

WONDERWALL presents:

“Harrison On Harrison”
“George Harrison In Art & Music…
on Harrison Street!”

‘A Man of All Seasons’. A legend in his time. George Harrison was a major influence in the pop culture of the ’60s during his Beatle days and as a solo artist, up to the last days of his life. In music, art, philosophy, spirituality, and fashion, Harrison touched the lives of millions around the world. Harrison still resonates everywhere to this day.

During his life, George Harrison embraced the cultures of India and Hawai’i and adapted the music and musical instruments into his own works.

Wonderwall, whose name is derived from a 1968 movie of the same name for which Harrison did the soundtrack, pays homage to the late George Harrison during “Art On Harrison”. Focusing on Harrison’s personal, musical and spiritual interests, contributing artists and musicians will entertain, entice, and enlighten.

Featuring:

  • Sitars & Ukuleles Art Exhibit
  • World-renowned photojournalist Paul Saltman’s 1968 “The Beatles In India” Photo Exhibit
  • Sitar Demonstration
  • Ukulele Demonstration - Learn a Beatles song. Free lesson!
  • Live music - and much more!
