GuitarMania

GuitarMania® is a Greater Cleveland community public art project that has raised more than $2 million for its two benefiting charities – United Way of Greater Cleveland and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum’s education activities. The project consists of 10-ft-tall guitars creatively transformed into works of art by local artists and national celebrities. The inaugural GuitarMania took place in 2002, with three following acts in 2004, 2007 and 2012. You’ll find these guitars displayed on the city streets of Cleveland, in our airport and in locations throughout our community for residents and visitors to enjoy. Corporations, organizations and individuals sponsor the guitars and select from a variety of local artists to paint, sculpt or decorate them. Celebrity artists also painted and decorated guitars.

This year, five patriotic-themed guitars are on display in downtown Cleveland hotels and at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum just in time for the RNC and summer visitors! Stop by and enjoy these wonderful works of art before the curtains fall!

You can be a part of the action and help our community too! Guitars can be purchased by calling Michelle Carver at 216-436-2121. Take home a piece of the CLE before the final curtain falls on this act!
