About Six-String Masterpieces:

The exhibit was curated by Curse Mackey, an artist, musician and creative director of the Action Arts Agency. The exhibit is potentially the most viewed fine art exhibit of the last year having been featured as part of Ozzfest 2006, The Family Values Tour, SXSW, Dallas International Guitar Festival, MusikMesse in Frankfurt, Germany, The London Guitar Show, Rock Festival in Tokyo and on MTV’s Headbangers Ball. Mackey also served a project editor of a 100 page special ICON issue of Guitar Player Magazine that was devoted entirely to this exhibit.

More than 60 Dean ML guitars will be auctioned off at the SIX-STRING MASTERPIECES event, followed by an all-star benefit concert with all proceeds from both the auction and the concert earmarked to support the Little Kids Rock’s mission to put music education back into public schools. Confirmed performers to date include: Dave Navarro, Scott Ian (Anthrax), Aaron Lewis (Staind), Jerry Cantrell and Mike Inez(Alice in Chains),Vinnie Paul (Pantera/Damageplan) and Ace Frehley. The event will be emceed by Jamey Jasta, host of MTV2’s Headbangers Ball. Bids can be placed online as well as at the LaLuz DeJesus Gallery (4633 Hollywood Blvd.), which will preview the entire collection prior to the event, from May 4th through May 16th.
“I am thrilled that Little Kids Rock can be a part of such dynamic and fitting tribute to the most influential heavy metal guitarist of our time,” said David Wish, Executive Director of Little Kids Rock. “As a non-profit organization dedicated to the belief that music is a critical component of any first-rate education, we value the time and creativity the artists put into making this event a reality. The proceeds from this initiative will go a long way in helping public school children across the country tap into and hone their musical talents.”
“The music education I received at my public school saved my life,” said Joe Satriani, world-renown guitarist and Six String Masterpiece participant. “Those were different times. Today, teachers and schools need our help to meet the challenges, and real costs of providing a well-balanced education. Little Kids Rock can really make a difference.”
Darrell Abbott was best known as the lead guitarist for Pantera. The multi-platinum, Grammy-nominated band dominated the heavy metal world of the 90’s. The musician was shot and killed on December 8, 2004, while performing onstage with his new project, Damageplan. He was 38 years old. The "Six-String Masterpieces: The Darrell Abbott Art Tribute," was curated by Curse Mackey, Creative Director of the Action Arts Agency, to honor his memory. The guitars were donated by DEAN GUITARS, one of the top five guitar manufacturers in the world.
Beginning in 2005, Mackey sent “blank” Dean ML guitars to a select group of musicians and modern artists to create their own homage to Darrell Abbott, stating, “The Dean ML is the only guitar that could be the canvas. Dime played that guitar from the time he was 16 years old and he made it famous.”
Artists that participated in the tribute include Billy Gibbons (ZZ Top), James Hetfield and Kirk Hammett (Metallica), Ace Frehley (KISS), Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters, Nirvana), Marilyn Manson, Jerry Cantrell (Alice In Chains), Kelly Clarkson, Kerry King (Slayer), and Rob Zombie. Last year, the guitar exhibit was displayed at festivals and concert tours such as SxSW, Ozzfest and Family Values and was featured on MTV.
“I hope this inspires kids to pick up a guitar or a paint brush, bash on some drums, write some lyrics -- whatever it takes to get the frustrations and pain that we all feel sometimes out of their system and direct it in a creative or nonviolent way. At the same time, we need to help make these creative outlets more available to the next generation of rockers and those who can most benefit from them,” said Curse Mackey, curator. “Having exposure to art in elementary school inspired me as a kid. It led me to a career path as an artist and to own a business that revolves around my artistic vision.”

About Little Kids Rock:
Little Kids Rock believes that music is a critical component of first-rate education. Many schools have been stripped of their music programs. These cuts have had a disproportionately large impact on children from low-income backgrounds. Little Kids Rock restores music to its rightful place in the academic lives of kids in our public schools by providing a rich music education program including instrument instruction, free instruments and trained mentors. Founded by an elementary school teacher in 1996, Little Kids Rock is now serving thousands of students in CA, GA, LA, NY, NJ, TN and PA. More information can be found at: www.littlekidsrock.org
