FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - “Rocktober” A Group Art Exhibition Celebrating the Raw Power of Rock in All Its Forms

Hermosa Beach, CA – October 18, 2025 – Gallery of Hermosa is proud to present “Rocktober,” a dynamic new group exhibition opening October 18, 2025. The show celebrates the strength, resilience, and raw beauty of rock in all its forms. Whether as music that moves generations, stone that shapes our earth, or cultural symbols that ground our shared history.

Bringing together a diverse lineup of painters, illustrators, sculptors, photographers, and mixed media artists, Rocktober explores how “rock” resonates across time and disciplines. Each artist interprets “rock” through their own lens: some honor music’s rebellious spirit, others look to the geological foundations beneath our feet, while still others explore rock as metaphor—representing strength, memory, and transformation.

The exhibition is guest juried and curated by John Geldbach of DDR Projects, a respected curator and gallerist based in Long Beach. Geldbach is known for championing contemporary and emerging artists. Through DDR Projects, he has built a reputation for thoughtful exhibitions that connect community, culture, and creativity.

A special appearance will also be made by Mike Longacre of Mike’s Guitar Parlor in Hermosa Beach, who will be at the opening reception. He founded Mike’s Guitar Parlor in 2014 and has built a loyal following among local musicians through his repair, customization, and retail services.

Never available to the public until now and limited to only 4 pieces for sale. For the ultimate KsE collector. $75 each...made in Japan...painted in the USA.
