Revolution 9.9.9 – The Beatles Art Show in San Francisco
August 21st, 2009

Sean Ward Beatles Art show San Francisco Revolution 9.9.9

Revolution 9.9.9 – a dramatic and intense exhibition that explores the extent and magnitude of popular culture’s biggest influence – The Beatles.

EDIT: What a fantastic night! Thanks to everyone for making it a hit. Click here for Party Pics!

Revolution 9.9.9 opens 09/09/09 (Number Nine… Number Nine… Number Nine…) at Space Gallery in San Francisco, the city that was the location of The Beatles’ last ever official concert in 1966, and runs to September 14.

The exhibition opens the same day as the release of The Beatles Rock Band video game and their re-mastered albums, exploring the band’s unmatched impact on popular culture through paintings, drawings, photography, sculpture, film and performance.

Artists include:
Sean Ward (that’s me!)
Marco Mejia
Julia Sanders
Tandy Kunkle

I need your help to get me to San Francisco, and support the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation in memory of  huge John Lennon fan!  Click here for details about my San Francisco fundraiser!

Revolution 9.9.9 opens with a reception on Wednesday Sept. 9, and will be capped with a live event featuring a performance by The Vows who will play two sets: the first as the psychedelic Beatles, and the second – after a drastic and radical costume change – as the Beatlemania-era mop tops.

Revolution 9.9.9 is presented by Space Gallery, and produced by Rand Shuler. Space Gallery is located at 1141 Polk Street, San Francisco, California. Visit them on the web at www.spacegallerysf.com

Special thanks to:
Amoeba Music for sponsoring the event and getting us involved in “Beatle Day at Amoeba”
Harmonix for giving the show a Beatles Rock Band Bundle
Isotope Comics and RVCA

    Sweet! The Beatles remind me so much of being a child – the happy memories anyways.

    Your Beatles are so cute! But I like the audience member to the left of the blue one's elbow, he's really enjoying the show.

    Sean….wow.
    Your enthusiasm and passion for the Fab Four is even greater than mine! I love it.
    Your art is as vivid, funny, witty, and colorful as you are – a Beatles fan's delight.
    Rock on with your bad self.

    Thank you! I will take that and run with it. one of the things I want to do is start getting more involved in the Beatles conventions and all that stuff, make myself the go-to guy for Beatles cartoon/comics images.
