2009 Exhibits
Feb 26-Jun 7, 2009 - "Wood & Strings: A Luthier's Renaissance." In the midst of what has been referred to as a "renaissance" of independent luthiers (makers of stringed instruments), today’s acoustic guitar players, connoisseurs, and collectors have realized a new appreciation for the art, craft, and science involved in building the guitar. Using methods and principles steeped in tradition as a point of departure, today’s guitar builders continue to explore the possibilities of sound and design, to address and apply the properties of each material used, and to create instruments that are as unique and personalized as the music they are built to produce. This exhibition will explore and present these themes through selections of handmade instruments by the finest builders of today as well as instruments of historic significance. Stern Gallery, Plains Art Museum
