What is Rhythm Art?
Rhythm Art involves repurposing unplayable guitars into unique art pieces. Artists are given a space to showcase their talents by designing a guitar. The purpose of the Rhythm Art project is to give unplayable guitars a second life as an art piece to raise funds for G4VA.
The funds go towards helping veterans and Australian Defence Force (ADF) members with mental health conditions like PTSD. G4VA provides a free guitar and 10 free guitar lessons as a form of music therapy. To learn more about PTSD and Music Therapy, click here.
The tone for the art is optimistic, peaceful, and promotes feelings of happiness. The theme for all the guitar art pieces is Australia and the artists are free to decide how to incorporate this theme through their perspective and style.
