Four non-profits split $586,085 check from Gibson
Yesterday, Mayor Will Wynn presented representatives of American Youthworks, Austin Children’s Museum, Austin Museum of Art and Health Alliance for Austin Musicians with a check for over half a million dollars to split four ways.
The money, presented on behalf of the Gibson Foundation, comes from the year-long Austin GuitarTown public-art project. Remember all those 10-foot guitar sculptures all over town. They were auctioned off in October, with the top two guitars fetching $55,000 each.
