The Beatles are leaving Argenta soon!
“The British Invasion Fifty Years Later,” an archival photography exhibition of the Beatles, will be ending its run Saturday (April 19) in North Little Rock’s Argenta Arts District with a grand finale party.
The free photo exhibit has a few special ticketed events left today and tomorrow (April 18-19) to raise money for the Argenta Arts Foundation, a nonprofit with a mission to provide arts and cultural experiences for the people of Arkansas.
The exhibit, which includes some never-before-seen photos, focuses on the public and private lives of these musical and cultural icons and one of the world’s most beloved bands.
Here are the remaining events left to check out:
- April 18: From 8-11 p.m., The Libras will share a Fab Four Retrospective featuring guest musicians Bonnie Montgomery, John Willis, Indy Grotto, Isaac Alexander, and Greg Spradlin at the Argenta Community Theater. Tickets are required.
- April 19: From 12-3 p.m., get a look at the best of British classic cars when the British Motor Club of Arkansas makes a stop in Argenta.
- April 19: From 3-6 p.m., stop by the Inland Maritime Museum for a British Invasion BBQ and Karaoke. Attendees can explore the newly renovated museum while enjoying live music by the Marchese Hendricks Project, featuring Jessica Lauren with special guest Steve Bates. Beer, wine and soda will be served and mouth-watering barbecue will be catered by Whole Hog Café of North Little Rock. Tickets are required. Proceeds go directly to “Save the Hoga,” AIMM’s initiative to bring USS Hoga from California to North Little Rock for the public’s education and enjoyment.
- April 19: The exhibit will conclude with a Fab Four Finale Celebration that features live British Invasion music by the Steve Bates Band, live art demonstrations and auction featuring top Arkansas artists, the Argenta Arts Foundation Friend of the Arts Awards, food and beverages from 7-10 p.m. Tickets are required.
The photo exhibit is the second archival collection displayed in the Argenta District. Last spring, the “JFK 50 Years Later” exhibit was held in a variety of locations up and down Main Street.
