host a location

So you wanna host a cool piano?

There are several factors we assess when determining which locations best fit the project.

location of the piano: A City Sounds piano must be publicly accessible and located in a safe space. Ideally, it's not too hard to find on your grounds, too close to traffic, or hard to reach. If it is on public land, such as a city sidewalk, it must have approval of the governing body for that land. 

volunteers: Please see our Caretaker Commitment page.

fundraising: 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. We welcome your donations.
