Painted Pianos

Painted Pianos is a unique art project designed to bring community members together while creating musical memories. This downtown activation gives artists a new and exciting platform to share their talent and provides the public with a chance to experience music in the downtown. This project is about spreading the love of music for more people to see, hear, and enjoy when they least expect it. Outdoor art activations like the Painted Pianos creates a more interactive environment in the walkable downtown, engages community members, and helps promote the downtown to residents and visitors.

The Painted Piano Project is a community-based project administered by Walnut Creek Downtown Association. We fund the program through generous donations and sponsorship from the downtown business community.

Each piano is themed and you can sign up with a group of friends or just sign up on your own and meet the other volunteers assigned to your selected piano.
