We thought we would try our hand at designing for the Guitarmania 2012. We had a lot of fun playing with it, and after we actually found out about it, only had a few days to come up with a concept and get it submitted. We’re happy with the design, but after seeing all the others, WOW is all I can say! There some super talented designers/artists/creators out there, that’s for sure! I’m blown away at the talent Cleveland has to offer. Kudos to you!
What is Guitarmania?
GuitarMania® is a Greater Cleveland community public art project that has raised $2 million for its two benefiting charities – United Way of Greater Cleveland and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum’s education programs. The project consists of large, 10-ft-tall Fender®Stratocaster® guitars creatively transformed into works of art by local artists and national celebrities. The guitars are displayed on the city streets of Cleveland for residents and visitors to enjoy from the end of May through October, 2012. Corporations, organizations and individuals sponsor the guitars and select from a variety of local artists to paint, sculpt or decorate them. Celebrity artists also paint and decorate guitars.
Here was our submission, a simple, whimsical design to help support and raise awareness for adoption/foster care. We already have plans for the next time this comes around what we’re going to do in 2014 too!
Right now Guitarmania is seeking sponsors for their event, you can check out the exhibit at Arts Collinwood until February 3rd. Like I said, awesome designs – truly awesome! I can’t wait to see everyone who’s picked!
