The guitar pick sculptures were made for the Roots n Blues festival and originally had the festival lettering on them. This work was refurbished and replaced with the saying “Music is Life”. The installation was given a new life after the festival was canceled, repurposed as public art, with the help of Matt Moyer.

David Spear’s artistic practice is grounded in a deep appreciation for the transformative power of art. Immersed in its rich history, he finds inspiration and insight into the human experience. This appreciation drives his advocacy for the arts, reflected in his involvement in various boards, initiatives, and the Columbia Office of Affairs Commission.
