Ukulele String Art Community Project

Posted by on September 26th 2021 @ 2:09 am

For this year’s Original Utah Uke Fest, I wanted to come up with a collaborative art project that we could celebrate being able to come together again with. What if we had a big string art project ready to go, all nailed up with no strings yet? Attendees could add strings to it throughout the day and by the end we could take a photo to share …

About 4-foot tall, the completed community ukulele string art project.

It was such a success (the picture doesn’t really do it justice), the leader of the Salt Lake Strummers wanted to hang it up in her new music studio. I was grateful it found a permanent home and will live beyond the one day event.

A big thanks to Christopher McAfee, of the Art City Ukulele Fellowship, for volunteering to prepare the board and pound the nails. THANKS CHRIS!

Ryan's favorite starter ukulele: The Enya Nova U Concert Ukulele 23” on Amazon sounds great, is easy to play, in tune and nearly indestructable. "I left it in the car through the heat of summer to see what would happen, and it still plays beautifully."
