Gibson GuitarTown Charity Auction Set For Feb. 21, Benefiting Music For Relief Disaster Relief

Get ready to place your bids! The 2013 round of 10-foot tall Gibson guitar art sculptures that have lined The Sunset Strip will end their tour on Friday, February 21, 2014, when they are auctioned for charity at a gala event at Bonhams in Los Angeles. This is the third installment of the annual public art project, and all proceeds from this auction will benefit Music For Relief, the nonprofit organization founded by members of Linkin Park to support disaster relief, provide aid to survivors of natural disasters and support the prevention of such disasters via environmental programs.

The auction will be open to the public, with previews on February 20 and 21 from 12:00 – 5:00 p.m. each day at Bonhams (7601 West Sunset Boulevard, Los Angeles). The charity auction will begin at 8:00 p.m. on February 21. An online catalog featuring the star studded guitar lineup will be available for review.

The 2013 GuitarTown project includes works celebrating Joan Jett, Janis Joplin, ZZ Top, Alice Cooper and Debbie Harry, among others. A range of artists participated in the 2013 installment, including Linkin Park’s Mike Shinoda, tattoo artist Kat Von D, tattoo artist Lyle Tuttle, who was close friends with Janis Joplin, sculptor Eugene Daub, who recently created the Rosa Parks sculpture for the U.S. capitol, and jewelry designer Kathy Rose.

These guitars were auctioned for charity in 2011 with 100% of the $54,360 in proceeds benefitting local charities Los Angeles Youth Network, West Hollywood Arts & Cultural Commission and West Hollywood Library.

The 2012 GuitarTown edition raised funds for the Los Angeles Fund for Public Education’s “Arts Matter” campaign, supporting art and music education in public schools.
