Norwood Public Art Guitar Project
Calling All Local Artists
Music Drives Us is proud to announce our inaugural public art project to promote the arts and importance of music education in the Town of Norwood & New England! We have fifteen 5-foot fiberglass guitars that will be displayed prominently in the public and participating private spaces throughout Norwood. Before these are ready to be displayed, we are seeking local artists who are interested in publicizing their artistic style through beautifying and painting these guitars.
All fifteen completed guitars will be displayed in the Town of Norwood beginning the first week of September 2018 through the second week of November 2018. The guitars will be put up for auction in November 2018, and all proceeds collected from the sale of the guitars will be donated to Music Drives Us and used to support music & arts education programs throughout the six states of New England. Music Drives Us will also donate a portion of the proceeds to support the Norwood Fine Arts Department.
Application Details
Music Drives Us will be accepting applications and guitar design proposals from May _____, 2018 through June 28, 2018. Each guitar comes on a non-removable base, and is primed white with flanges that secure the guitar to the ground when publicly displayed.
Please note that all applicants are required to fill out the application below and utilize the provided template to create a rendering of the finished guitar. Music Drives Us will review all applications on a rolling basis from May ______, 2018 through June 28, 2018.
