Join the Alberta Craft Calgary Gallery in celebrating our newest SPOTLIGHT exhibition, Tyler Sambo - Strings Attached. A celebration of beautifully handcrafted Guitars.
Recycling, reclaiming and repurposing material have always been core attributes of Tyler Sambo's woodworking practice. In "Strings Attached" Tyler showcases three electric guitars that are assembled from materials that were either reclaimed or diverted from local waste streams.
Tyler encourages patrons to pick up these instruments and play them, they are as much tools to create music as they are sculpture or statement.
