Newton’s Artful Pianos are back, brightening up parks and public spaces throughout Newton for all to enjoy. These pianos were donated by Newton residents and have been beautifully painted by professional artists, each with a unique touch. Visit the pianos in their outdoor homes this summer and enjoy this meeting of art and music; everyone is encouraged to view and/or play these artful instruments.
While you’re there, take a short video or picture and share it on our Facebook or Instagram: https://www.facebook.com/newtonculturaldevelopment, @newtoncultural development.
