Introducing our next designed guitar, created by talented illustrator and animator Danielle Rhoda!
🎶 Her design draws inspiration from the music venues that shape our city, from @bandonthewall to @nightanddaycafe, @mattandphreds to @alberthallmcr.
Danielle has previously contributed to our 50 Windows of Creativity project in 2020, where her work was featured at @phmmcr as part of the citywide art trail. We are delighted to have her with us for our next Manchester art trail, #MusicForTheSenses.
🎸 Got a spare guitar you can donate to be turned into an artwork for the trail? Visit the link in our bio to find out more.

THANK YOU 🙌
We received hundreds of incredible submissions to our artist open call from across the UK (and even overseas!). A huge thank you to everyone who took the time to strum those creative strings and share your talent with us.
Next up, a panel of project representatives will review and shortlist the submissions before presenting them to sponsors at an exclusive event on Monday 19 May. At the event, sponsors will choose the design they’d like to feature on their guitar and the selected artists will be commissioned to turn their vision into reality.
The guitars will be displayed across Manchester for 8 weeks, from 7 July – 31 August 2025.
