John Lennon Art Show at Hotel Indigo
Boston-area Beatles fans, especially those who admire guitarist and singer John Lennon, have something to get excited about if they’re able to make it to Newton’s recently opened Hotel Indigo (399 Grove Street, Newton, 617-969-5300, 888-ART-1969) this weekend. On Saturday and Sunday, June 28–29, from 11am to 6pm, Lennon’s widow Yoko Ono will present the two-day art exhibit Power to the People, a name shared by Lennon’s fourth single as a solo artist, released in 1971.
Billed as “a look into John’s life through his artwork,” the event will feature the largest collection of Lennon’s art on paper from the years 1968 to 1980, including limited-edition prints and song lyrics, that express Lennon’s stance on peace, hope, and love.
The traveling exhibition has helped contribute thousands of dollars to charities worldwide throughout its fifteen-year existence in the United States, and this weekend’s showings will continue that history. As a result, attendees will be asked to donate $2.00 at the door to benefit the Boys and Girls Club of Boston, always a worthy cause.
Not familiar with Lennon’s song “Power to the People”? No worries because I tracked down the video, which is located after the jump.
