LUTHIERS EXPO

The Miami International GuitART Festival welcomes vendors to register for the 2016 MIGF Luthiers Expo, where the luthiers and guitar shops will present their guitars, music, and other related products to our participants who will be coming from all around the world. Our participants will have a chance to meet their future luthiers, try their excellent hand-built guitars, and even buy one!

The Luthiers Expo will be held in the Frost Art Museum Café area located next to the FIU School of Music. The museum will also be having a special exhibition “The Shakespeare’s First Folio” during the festival and will be attracting even more people to the Expo. We hope to meet and host many talented luthiers and music vendors in our festival.
