Public Pianos

#ComePlayWithMeNL
Public art you can play!

Program Overview

Public art invigorates public spaces and helps build thriving cultural and economic partnerships. When art is available to everyone to enjoy and create, everyone has the opportunity to contribute to community identity and see themselves reflected.

Business & Arts NL’s Public Piano Program is an invitation to participate in collective community expression and create more meaningful public spaces. Our pianos are beautifully painted by local visual artists. Their upkeep and longevity is supported by our generous sponsors. And everyone who plays them contributes to their legacy.

Since its inception in 2014, #ComePlayWithMeNL has boasted hundreds of planned and impromptu performances. Currently, we are proud to partner with arts organizations, professional artists and arts educators to animate our public pianos.

We invite you to play and enjoy these instruments and share your special musical moments on social media. #ComePlayWithMeNL
