ArtPrize entry hopes to raise awareness for Cystic Fibrosis

The creator wanted to raise awareness for the respiratory disease which there currently is no cure for.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — One ArtPrize entry is trying to raise awareness for Cystic Fibrosis.

The Cystic Fibrosis Bass is an actual bass guitar shaped like lungs. The creator wanted to raise awareness for the respiratory disease which there currently is no cure for.

The artist says it took him more than 100 hours to create the instrument.

“A lot of people stop by and look at the instrument, they can appreciate it. When they stop a little longer and start reading what it’s for and the cause it supports, they appreciate it even more," says Kurt Veltman the creator.

The piece is being displayed at Spectrum Butterworth Hospital.
