CALLING ALL MUSICIANS 🎶
As part of Music for the Senses, forty guitars featuring the faces of grassroots artists stencilled on the back by artist Liam Hopkins (@lazerian_studio) will hang in a public art exhibition as part of `Guitar Street` on King Street for the duration of the trail.
Musicians can register their interest via email and then names will be drawn out of a guitar case to decide who`s faces will feature. You don`t have to be a guitar-based musician to be involved, we welcome every genre!
