The Art of Rock and Roll ® is the visual art created for and inspired by rock and roll music. It takes on many forms and is created by artists, musicians and photographers in the music industry. Bill and Laura Eveleigh opened Walnut Street Gallery in 1989 and quickly discovered that this new genre of art touched many who had never thought of collecting fine art before. Our collectors wanted to surround themselves with the visual reminders of the music they loved, and for this reason The Art of Rock and Roll ® was born!
