In addition to New York City, artwork by Ringo Starr is on view at a second gallery this month.
Through June 17, Toronto's Liss Gallery, 140 Yorkville Ave., is also exhibiting the Beatle drummer's artwork.
As in the New York event, some of the proceeds will benefit the Lotus Foundation, who "offer financial aid and assistance to facilitate family and child welfare, women's issues, animal protection, addiction recovery and education."
Starr's art is computer generated. He says he started doing it to pass the time while in hotels when he was touring with his All-Starr Band.
"I started in the late '90s with my computer art," Starr told an interviewer. "While I was touring it gave me something to do in all those crazy hotels you have to stay in on the road."
Ringo Starr and his All-Starr Band open their 2012 summer tour with two shows June 14 and 15 and Fallsview Casino Resort in Ontario.
New All Starrs this time around are Steve Lukather from Toto and Gregg Rolie from Santana and Journey. Returning are Richard Page, Todd Rundgren, Mark Rivera and drummer Gregg Bissonette.
The tour continues through July 21 at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles.
