Burlington's Climbing Guitar Art

Burlington’s got a jaw-dropping new 12-foot aluminum guitar sculpture at the Arboretum — bright, climbable, and playable — built to honor local icon John Currin and spark joy through music and community. Designed by Burlington native Casey Lewis, it lets kids scale the back and strum metal pipes that make real musical notes, turning art into an interactive playground. A collaboration between Impact Alamance and the New Leaf Society, it’s now maintained by the city’s Parks and Rec department and stands as a vibrant symbol of public art that delights, connects, and uplifts — especially for kids needing a little brightness in their day.
