These guitar pick sculptures were originally created for the Roots N Blues festival and featured the festival's lettering. After the festival was canceled, the sculptures were refurbished and updated to display the phrase "Music is Life." Thanks to the efforts of Matt Moyer, this installation was repurposed as public art, giving it a new lease of life.
David Spear’s artistic practice is grounded in a deep appreciation for the transformative power of art. Immersed in its rich history, he finds inspiration and insight into the human experience. This appreciation drives his advocacy for the arts, reflected in his involvement in various boards, initiatives, and the Columbia Office of Affairs Commission.
