Calling all the artists! We have quite a few instruments that are unrepairable and we are hoping to have turned into art. We will then sell the art instrument in hopes of funding the purchase of another instrument to be sent out. We have had artists paint instruments and even wood burn a guitar. Let me know if you would like to participate in this by emailing me at andria@instrumentsofjoy.org #givejoy #giveinstruments
