Ebby Offices Auction Artful Axes Ahead of Wildflower Music Fest

Guitars are painted and embellished by local artisans, like these acoustic ones from the 2011 Art Guitar Auction.

What a fantastic way to promote communities, music, and art! Check out this giveaway from the  Campbell-Coit, Preston Plano Parkway, 190@Jupiter and Preston Keller Ebby Halliday Realtor offices — they’re giving away several custom electric and acoustic guitars as part of the Wildflower Art & Music Festival Art Guitar Auction. Read on for more!

From the Ebby Blog:

The auction features guitars — electric and acoustic — decorated by local artists, celebrities, and sports figures. The guitars are transformed, painted, tiled, airbrushed or gilded in gold – whatever the decorator desires – and are put on display at the Eisemann Center and sold in a silent auction for the duration of the festival. Proceeds benefit the NETWORK of Community Ministries and the fine art programs of the Richardson Independent School District. Click here to learn about how the auction works.
