Newton’s Parks & Recreation office of Community Events & Programs is creating music and magic with The Artful Piano Project, a one‑of‑a‑kind public art experience and a shining part of the Festival of the Arts. Hand‑painted pianos are placed in parks and plazas across the city, each one a unique work of art waiting to be discovered.
These vibrant installations transform everyday public spaces into open‑air galleries and invite spontaneous performances from anyone who feels like sitting down to play—seasoned musicians, curious kids, or anyone just passing by. As you wander through a neighborhood park or pause in a village plaza, you might stumble into a moment of unexpected beauty.
Come explore, play, and be inspired. The whole city is your stage.
