Concert and Book Signing

Stilley, a farmer in the Arkansas Ozarks south of Eureka Springs, received a vision from God in 1979 telling him to make musical instruments and give them to children. For the next 25 years, Stilley created over 200 guitars, fiddles and dulcimers from wood scraps, metal hinges, pot lids and other found materials. On each instrument, Stilly inscribed the words "True Faith, True Light. Have Faith in God."
"True Faith, True Light: the Devotional Art of Ed Stilley" is published by the University of Arkansas Press.
