Painted Violin
Posted by Kevin on November 3rd, 2009The Durham Symphony is currently holding their annual Painted Violins fundraiser, in which various artists transform retired violins into works of art. Tickets start at $5 a piece and can be purchased through their website. The drawing takes place in December at the annual holiday concert.
Involved artists include tattoo legend Guy Aitchison, who resurfaced his violin in the organic style that he’s well known for. Typically an original piece by Guy usually would cost a significant amount–this is your chance to own an amazing piece of his art at a lower price tag, plus you can feel good about the proceeds going to the Durham Symphony.
Pictured below is the retired violin that Guy transformed (additional pictures are available here.)
