I walked past this outdoor exhibition whilst in London yesterday. It was attracting a lot of attention from visitors because of the size, colour and number of these guitars that were dotted around and being in a key tourist area.
I have since been on the internet and found out it is a charity inspired campaign bringing together the power of music with art to raise money for three chosen charities. All the guitars will be auctioned off at an event in September with all the proceeds being split equally between the three associated charities. I found it really interesting because whilst they were fun objects that many people were standing next to, having photos taken with, they were also exposing many different styles of art to the genral public.
The guitars were signed by famous musicians including Rod Stewart, Noel Gallagher, Brian May, Gorillaz, The Kooks, The Magic Numbers, KT Tunstall, Razorlight and Hard-Fi. The last image below shows the guitar signed by Ozzy Osbourne - the illustration is very appropraite!
