Mon – Sat, 9:30 a.m. – 7 p.m.

Music fans will not want to miss the Classic Rock Art Show, back for its ninth annual display at the Shops at Liberty Place. The show features a rare collection of original art, photographs, handwritten song lyrics, posters, album art and more from rock music legends – including the Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, U2, AC/DC and Led Zeppelin. Celebrity artists will also be featured (although they have nothing to do with rock music), like Muhammad Ali, Tennessee Williams and Bill Maher. All pieces are available for purchase, and a portion of the proceeds will be donated to charity. The show ends Sunday, March 29.
