Sing for Hope Makes Music for the Eyes, Colors for the Ears
On June 3, the much-lauded public art project, Sing for Hope Pianos, returned to the streets as 50 artist-designed pianos were arrayed on Fosun Plaza, outside 28 Liberty Street.
And the artists had much to celebrate: the organization, which brings arts outreach programs to neighborhoods in need and provides a network of support for artists who want to give back to their communities, will achieve an auspicious milestone this year. The group is about to place its 500th piano on the streets and in the schools of New York City.
So now, go out and play.
