SHE`S ELECTRIC 🎸
This guitar is one of a limited number showcased at our recent Design Selection Event for sponsors. Originally donated through our guitar amnesty appeal, it has been transformed into a stunning work of art by artist Jenny Leonard.
It will be featured, alongside many others, on Manchester’s `Music for the Senses` art trail this summer, before going to auction to raise funds for local grassroots music projects and venues.

Some news from backstage 🎸
Manchester based artist @jennyleonardart has been working on this guitar design for the trail, inspired by the Oasis song She’s Electric.
Guitar experts @rigby_music carefully prepare each guitar so that paintable areas are accessible. Once decorated, they will then reassemble and restring them, restoring them to full working condition, ready for display this summer 🎸
Keep your eyes peeled as we’ll reveal the completed guitar soon!

Last night we hosted our Guitar Art Design Selection Event for all our sponsors and partners 🎸
Kindly hosted by Kimpton Clocktower, the place was buzzing with representatives from each business selecting the guitar designs that will be brought to life for Manchester’s Music for the Senses this summer.
The designs were shortlisted from over 260 impressive submissions made by local and national artists. Our sponsors had the difficult decision of choosing their top three favourites and selected artists will soon be commissioned to transform real guitars into spectacular artworks.
There is still the opportunity to join us as a Guitar Sponsor and be part of a unique and highly visible art trail that will capture everyone’s imagination over 8 weeks this summer. Visit musicforthesenses.co.uk and contact us at: hello@musicforthesenses.co.uk
