host a location
ARE YOU INTERESTED IN HOSTING A PIANO AT YOUR LOCATION?
Sponsor Funding: The costs of transporting, painting, installing, maintaining and promoting a City Sounds piano require that each piano be sponsored at the $5000 level. Some of our pianos are funded by a single sponsor, some multiple sponsors. Our sponsors include private business, public institutions and individual donors. Check out the partners page to see a list. You must submit your funding source(s) with the application.
Caretakers: Each of our pianos has dedicated caretakers that insure the cover is taken off and put on everyday of the season (June-October) and report any damage or issues with the piano to the project’s management. Your location must have caretakers to be viable. Caretakers can be a city or building maintenance staff, a business that is located in close proximity to the piano or dedicated neighborhood volunteers. You must submit your caretaker(s) with the application.
We will accept applications on an ongoing basis throughout the year. Your application will be considered for the following year's season. Submitting an application does not guarantee your location will be chosen as a host.
