Music for the Senses will feature artworks, exhibitions and installations that celebrate the people, places, moments and instruments of Manchester’s music scene.

Guitars will be painted or adorned by professional artists, turning them into individual artworks, and displayed in shop windows and venues around the city.

Plus, discover a sculptural guitar inspired installation by Manchester artist Liam Hopkins, known as Lazerian. Liam’s artwork will lovingly repurpose broken guitars, donated by members of the public.

Explore the trail using the Music for the Senses app. Use the interactive map to find your way and unlock each display with a unique four-digit code found at the location. As you progress, you’ll also earn exciting rewards from local businesses.

Printed trail maps will also be available to pick up.

At the end of the trail the decorated guitars will be auctioned to raise money to support grassroots music projects and venues throughout Greater Manchester via a dedicated music fund managed by our charity partner Forever Manchester, in collaboration with Manchester Music City.
