A collection of artwork by the late singer-songwriter and artist John Lennon (1940-1980) will be on display at Tyson’s Corner Center, 1961 Chain Bridge Road, on Friday, October 16 and Saturday, October 17 from 10 a.m. - 9 p.m., and Sunday, October 18 from noon - 6 p.m. Free admission.

Scheduled events will feature programming led by Collection Expert Nim Vaswani, exhibition authority on the works of John Lennon. Mr. Vaswani will be in the gallery and available to the public; speaking on the exhibited works and providing insight into the history and stories behind the artwork.

According to the exhibit organizers, Lennon began drawing long before he owned a guitar. The posthumous, limited edition prints that will be on display are adapted from Lennon’s original drawings. The art has been selected from rare archival sketches and is representative of his whimsical and thought provoking imagery. Each print is reproduced utilizing the sophisticated and detailed standards typical for archival fine art printing processes, guided, approved and hand-signed by his wife Yoko Ono, also a musician and artist.

A portion of the proceeds from the presentation will be donated back to the Capital Area Food Bank.
