Rockin' Art at the MAC is a signature concert series inspired by the extraordinary collection of music posters generously donated by longtime Worthington resident Tom Miller. Produced by TEAM Sports, Entertainment & Media, the series brings together art, music, and community through unforgettable "never before, never again" performances that celebrate the cultural impact of popular music.

A unique opportunity surrounding this concert is an online auction featuring a selection of posters from the Tom Miller Poster Collection. Longtime Worthington resident Tom Miller generously donated his extensive collection to the McConnell Arts Center, and throughout our Rockin' Art at the MAC concert series, we'll be offering select posters for auction to benefit the MAC.

Bidding is open to everyone—you do not need to attend the concert to participate! Simply register through our secure online auction site and place your bid before the auction closes Friday evening. Local winners may pick up their posters at the MAC, and winners outside Central Ohio are welcome to participate and will be responsible for associated shipping costs.

Featuring live performance by members of the Rick Derringer Band: Kenn Moutenot, Charles Torres, and Danny Johnson

Hang On Sloopy: The Movie is a “ROCKumentary” about a university and an entire state’s incredible 50-year love affair with a rock song.

Produced in Columbus, Ohio by Dave Whinham and Brian Grady, the piece explores many untold and magical stories about how a random rock song, about a “girl from a very bad part of town” became to the State of Ohio what “Sweet Home Alabama” is to the State of Alabama.

Ever since the song, made famous by The McCoys, reached #1 in 1965, it has continued to grow in popularity in Ohio. From frat house party song, to a widely embraced fight song for the Ohio State Buckeyes football team, that ultimately became the Official Rock Song of the State of Ohio, “Hang On Sloopy” is heard at every athletic event, every live music venue, and every wedding throughout the state.

Hang On Sloopy: The Movie features performances and interviews from a wide variety of rock and R&B stars including:
• The McCoys
• Ramsey Lewis
• Rick Derringer
• The Vibrations
• The Strangeloves
• Terry Davidson and The Gears

The film also features appearances by Buckeye Legends:
• Urban Meyer (Head Football Coach of the National Champion OSU Buckeyes)
• Earle Bruce (Former Head Coach and College Football Hall of Fame Inductee)
• Former Buckeye Heisman Trophy winners Eddie George and Troy Smith
