A painted piano will be placed at the base of the Clock Tower in Riverfront for park users to play throughout the summer. It will be delivered Friday, June 1 at 11:30 a.m.
‘Piano in the Park’ was donated by Music City, tuned up and weather-proofed by the Piano Technicians Guild, and painted by students from SFCC’s Art Department.
Story Behind the Piano
The Piano Technicians Guild contacted Riverfront and SFCC’s Art department with the idea to weatherproof and paint a piano for the park. With all parties enthusiastic about the project, a group of SFCC art students each submitted an idea to a panel of representatives from Parks, Music City, and the Piano Technicians Guild. The panel selected artist Kiara Lime’s concept for the piano. Participating students then worked together to bring her concept to life.
