Founded in 2022, Guitars of Hope is a unique fundraising partnership between 

Bicoastal Media and Pelican Bay State Prison in Crescent City, California.

This inspiring project brings together creativity, redemption, and community support through the power of art and music.

For this year’s event, ten talented artists from the Pelican Bay State Prison Mural Art Team collaborated to design and hand-paint six one-of-a-kind Guitars of Hope. Each guitar is an original work of art, created with passion, purpose, and hope for a better future.

These custom guitars will be auctioned to raise funds and awareness for the 

Humane Society of Del Norte, helping provide care, shelter, spay, neutering and support for animals in need throughout Del Norte County.

Every bid helps transform art into compassion — supporting both community healing and animal welfare through a truly meaningful collaboration.

Join us in celebrating creativity, connection, and the positive impact that can happen when a community comes together for a cause.
