Best known for the acclaimed Pianos, putting hand-painted pianos on streets and other public places in New York each summer in order to enhance access to the arts and music, Sing for Hope's mission is that art is a right and not a privilege.
Since 2006, Sing for Hope's arts outreach programs have brought hope and inspiration to millions of individuals in under-resourced schools, public hospitals, hospices, veterans' centers, after-school programs, neighborhood centers, nursing homes, and disability networks. To date, Sing for Hope has partnered with over 220 nonprofit organizations, involved over 3,500 artists in community volunteerism, and placed over 330 artist-created Sing for Hope Pianos throughout NYC's parks and public spaces for everyone to play - a symbol and celebration of arts and music for all.
