Art Instrumental!

The Watauga County Arts Council partnered with Downtown Boone Development Association and Town of Boone to present "Art Instrumental", a new exhibition of re-purposed instruments interpreted by 21 local artists. This collaborative project brings organizations, artists, and businesses together as we celebrate our rich history of music and vibrant artistic present.

Instruments will be displayed in various windows and shops in downtown Boone through September, when they will be gathered for an exhibit and silent auction. During the months of July, August, and September, people are encouraged to visit businesses in downtown to see these works of art in person.

Live and virtual silent auction bidding will be help on OCTOBER 1 at the Watauga Arts Council, King Street Art Collective. People can sign up to be notified when the auction by voting for their favorite instrument. Funds from the auction will be used to pay the artists and support local public art projects.

The following gallery has each item with additional photos. Unfortunately, we cannot take this gallery down.
