Guitar art

Muskogee is home to a number of 8-foot fiberglass guitars painted in widely varying styles.

The only theme is each in some way reflects life in the community. The pieces were created as part of a public art undertaking, the Muskogee Guitar Project.

Former Mayor Wren Stratton spearheaded the project sponsored by the Muskogee Area Arts Council.

The guitars pop up in odd places around town, from front lawns of homes, to churches, schools, banks and public parks. The Greater Muskogee Area Chamber of Commerce even offers a scavenger hunt “guitar map” available at the Muskogee Tourist Information Center.
