Provided by business, painted by artists, played by the public
Our #ComePlayWithMeNL Public Pianos are found in public spaces across the province. These instruments are sponsored by local businesses, painted by local artists, and are waiting to be played to create unexpected musical moments!
The #ComePlayWithMeNL Public Piano Program launched in December, 2014, with the Jag Hotel piano featured at the St. John’s International Airport. We now have 6 pianos placed across the province in public spaces – with several more on the way. Each donated piano is painted by a local artist, debuted by a local musician, and sponsored by a local business. The Piano Program is constantly growing and we have plans to install public pianos at Arts & Culture Centers, airports, hospitals, and other public venues across the province.

These pianos allow for spontaneous personal expression, the public’s enjoyment of the piano in the vicinity, and ample opportunities to share on various forms of social media. The pianos add to the atmosphere to create an active, alive, and engaged place of interest, and provides the opportunity to connect over music. Our public pianos have proven to be most welcome and utilized. On top of the general public use of the pianos, the location sponsors are active in creating events structured around the instrument.
