Every summer thousands of musicians and 2 million music lovers the world over gather in the
beautiful city of Montreal to experience 11 days at the Montreal International Jazz Festival. A bonus at this year's event is the good will
and artistic flair added to the festival, thanks to the collaboration between Jazz Fest organisers, the Montreal Musician and Musical Instrument Show (MMMIS), and Montreal based Godin
Guitars.
This partnership joins together the innovative guitar concepts of Robert Godin and the artistic vision of the festivals renowned poster
designer, Yves Archambault, to create 9 exclusive guitars, which have been meticulously redrawn and painted by hand...truly making
them stunning and unique works of art.
From July 6th to the 9th, the MMMIS will be exhibiting these guitars in its exposition
halls where a silent auction will be held. All proceeds from the sale of these exclusive instruments will go towards the funding of the free
activities featured at the MMMIS, which, like the Montreal International Jazz Festival is a non-profit organization.
Further proceeds go
towards the Young Musicians of the World organization and the MMMIS Music to Youth Fund, which promotes music making among young
people and to the organizing of such events as this year's free Blues Camp for teens held during the festival. For more information, visit their web site at www.godinguitars.com.
