GIBSON GUITARTOWN ON THE SUNSET STRIP:

Gibson GuitarTown on The Sunset Strip is a public art exhibit showcasing the history and legacy of The Sunset Strip. Originally launched in 2010 with 25 art guitars inspired by artists including Slash, Motley Crue, Cheech & Chong, The Runaways, Ozzy Osbourne among others, GuitarTown raised more than $54,000 for charities including Los Angeles Youth Network, West Hollywood Arts & Cultural Affairs (for public art on The Sunset Strip) and the West Hollywood Library.

GuitarTown on The Sunset Strip relaunched in March 2012 with the first round of guitars from locally and nationally renowned artists. The guitars will be auctioned for charity on Feb. 22, 2013, at Bonhams Los Angeles. Proceeds will benefit the Los Angeles Fund's "Arts Matter" campaign, which funds art and music education programs in Los Angeles public schools.
