If you live in Lancaster city, you know that spring's soundtrack is peppered with piano tunes. Music nonprofit Music for Everyone's "Keys For The City" program will return to Lancaster city with public piano installations starting May 16. There will be 19 colorful pianos that anyone, regardless of age or skill level, can play: 17 in downtown Lancaster, one at Park City Center, and one at Kitchen Kettle Village in Intercourse. Three of the pianos will be special: one piano will have artwork that focuses on Music For Everyone and its impact locally; a second piano will continue the group's "Songs For Justice" social justice initiative; and a third piano will be adorned with donors' names if they donate $100 or more to Music for Everyone.

I've been posting about this piano a lot but I realized I never really explained WHAT the piano is all about. So let's start with the organization who started it all! \n\nMusic For Everyone is a Lancaster PA organization that provides resources and experiences in support of music education to transform lives, schools and communities.  \n\nEvery summer they host the \"Keys for the City\" event. It's Lancaster City's most impactful interactive, mixed media public art project. The project features custom-designed pianos to be displayed throughout the city at various hot spots and sidewalk locations, accessible to the public 24\/7. \n\nThe objective of Keys for the City is to provide access to musical opportunity, foster creativity and build a sense of community among the public and, in the process, raise resources awareness for local music and visual arts education initiatives. \n\nThis year I was lucky enough to be selected for a piano; and not just any piano, THE Music for Everyone piano! \n\nI worked countless hours to bring my vision to life. Incorporating MFE's branding and mission with requests from the piano donor for the final result. It's a beautiful explosion of color to celebrate music, education, love, and those who can no longer be with us 🌈💖 \n\nI will be posting a full reveal soon once the piano is put out in public. Thank you so your support and love thoughtout this project. It means a lot to me 🥰 \n\n🌸 If you want to help support my page, likes, comments, and shares help my page grow; and it helps to keep me inspired to keep making work! Thank you always! \n💖 💬 📲 \n\n #piano #publicpiano #cricutexploreair #vinyl #publicart #public #oddlysatisfying #musicforeveryone #keystothecity #lancasterpa #cricut #cricutcrafts #reel #reels #paint #femaleartist #smallbusiness #support #female #foryoupage #fyp #woman #viral #artist #art #discover #discoverpage #artistsupport #explorepage #foryou

The MFE Community piano - front and back! It’s title is “The Nature of Music”. I had the pleasure of being one of the 4 artists to create this collaborative piece of art for the Keys for the City street piano project. Lancaster, PA - the street piano capital of the world. Thanks to Music for Everyone for all that they do! There is a whopping total of 18 pianos this year! #streetpiano #streetpianos #musicforeveryone @mfelancaster #collaborationwork #lancastercity #lancasterpa #musicforhealing #musicandarts #thenatureofmusic

This mural I did for @mfelancaster definitely reminded me of th NYC World Trade center towers. It actually layered photos of the keyboard of an electric piano aligned to look like a skyline. I really dig this mural. Thanks to @remiarielleart for helping me get it completed.

My, almost, lifelong dream of owning a piano is complete ✨Since last Saturday, I’ve spent my days bleaching, painting and playing this awesome instrument ✨I ran out of paint so I’ve yet to finish the bottom. I’m also going to sew a ruffle cover for the stool 🧵 I’ve been pretty absent on here the last couple months but I’ve been completing so many diys I intend to share 🖤Happy Thursday, friends 🍄

Play some tunes on the keys for the city ! Music For Everyone launched this project 10 years ago placing designed pianos around the city streets. It allows creativity to flow through the city for individuals who aren’t as lucky as others. Although, these bright unique pianos give ANY person a chance to shine!! #keysforthecity #bestoflanc #givechances #music #creativity #spotlight #freedom #givelove #pianolovers
