For the last seven years the Liverpool Academy of Arts has been staging its annual Beatles exhibition. This year's exhibition is the third in succession to be staged at St George's Hall.
Each year the exhibition runs for longer and will be open to the public from the 24th July through to the end of August covering the entire period that the Hall is open to the public. It attracts many tourists and, of course, coincides with the Beatles Convention.
The exhibition has paintings, sculpture, fashion, poetry etc. the only stipulation is that work must have a theme relating to the Beatles. It may range from a portrait of one of the Beatles to an abstract representation of a aspect of their songs or events in their lives. Although mainly intended as a showcase for Merseyside talent we also have contributions from as far away as New York.
Below you will find a few sample paintings from the exhibition. Just click on an image to see it full screen. The exhibition is open Monday to Saturday between 10.30am and 4.30 pm until Friday 31st Augst. For a map showing how to find us see
