Artists
The open call for Music for the Senses has closed. Thank you to all the artists who submitted designs – we received over 260 entries and are truly grateful for creativity and effort put into each one.
What’s next? Shortlisted designs were showcased to sponsors at an exclusive event on Monday 19 May 2025. Sponsors selected their design and selected artists have been busy bringing their design to life on a physical guitar.
The guitars will be displayed across Manchester for 8 weeks, from 7 July – 31 August 2025.
