As a result, the two events will
henceforth be held alternately:
As of 2012, the Montreal
Guitar Show will be held every
second year in Montreal, alternating with the Healdsburg
Guitar Festival in Santa Rosa,
California, which will occur in
odd-numbered years.
The idea of hosting the two
events in alternating years was
conceived to allow luthiers to
better present their instruments
in successive turns rather than
divide them between the two
shows. This association will be
a major boon for the luthier
community, opening up new
horizons for the artists and crafts-men involved and encouraging exchanges and networking
between the many diverse players
in lutherie worldwide. Moving
forward, each of the shows will
promote the other event, increasing their impact and value.
Attendees at the 2011 Healdsburg Guitar Festival test instruments and chat with luthiers. The acoustics in the
foreground were built by luthier Rod Schenk.
The 6th edition of the
Montreal Guitar Show, pre-
sented as part of the Festival
International de Jazz de
Montréal, will be held in
Montreal from June 29 to July 1,
2012. The 7th will be held from
June 27 to 29, 2014. The next
Healdsburg Guitar Festival is slat-
ed for mid-August of 2013 at the
Hyatt Vineyard Creek hotel in
Santa Rosa, California (firm dates
have not yet been determined).
