Newton Artful Pianos Logo

From July-September, 2021, Newton Community Pride sponsored Newton Artful Pianos. This public art program of 9 unique and vibrantly painted pianos were installed throughout our city for all to enjoy and play.  

Thank you to Village Bank Logo our Presenting Sponsor and our other sponsors and donors found on our Home Page.  

A special thank you to Newton Cultural Development and to the City of Newton Public Buildings Department for storing the pianos throughout the pandemic and allowing our artists to use one of your facilities for their creativity.
