In honor and recognition of the 25th Celebration of JazzFest in July 2016, the Sioux Falls Jazz and Blues (SFJB) began the JazzFest 25 Guitar Art Project. Artists throughout South Dakota have individually designed artwork on the canvas of a white Fender Stratocaster guitar. Each artist has been sponsored by a regional business. The project is to not only join the music and art communities in South Dakota, but also help Sioux Falls Jazz and Blues bring awareness to incredible artists in the state, as well as celebrate the 25th JazzFest.
Following JazzFest 2016, the guitars will be up for auction online. The funds raised from the online auction will go towards the Sioux Falls Jazz and Blues Education Fund.
