La Guitarrizma!

Celebrate the guitar and the guitarists who have helped shape and enrich the world of music through this exhibition of paintings, sculptures, photographs, mixed-media works, and art created on functional guitars. Honoring local favorites and iconic artists such as Jimi Hendrix, Prince, Lita Ford, and Lead Belly, La Guitarrizma! celebrates the enduring influence of guitar music across generations.

Dallas has long been home to extraordinary guitarists whose talent has enriched the city's musical identity. From buskers performing on street corners to local and regional bands, and from internationally acclaimed guitar legends to emerging musicians, these artists have helped shape a vibrant and diverse music scene that continues to inspire generations.
