Ponce City Market Needs A New Public Piano!
Tax deductible
In 2017, Play Me Again Pianos unveiled 'Cornelius,' our ninth public piano in the metro Atlanta area. Painted by talented artist Theresa Dean, Cornelius has served the community in many ways over the last six years.
- He's been an unexpected delight for passersby by going to and from the BeltLine,
- An opportunity for impromptu concerts,
- A practice instrument for those who don't have an acoustic piano at home,
- A refuge for office workers to play during their breaks,
- And a destination point for friends to gather.
But Cornelius has now reached the end of his musical journey and is no longer in good playable condition.
Our Goal
A crowdfunding campaign to raise $2100 (2K + processing fees) so we can place another public piano at Ponce City Market.
Why Your Contribution Matters
Although our pianos are always free for everyone to play, they are NOT free to install and maintain.
Your donation, no matter the size, helps us turn a donated piano into a beautiful new work of art, place it out in public accessible to everyone and tune it regularly for the next year.
How to Contribute
Share the Joy! Help spread the word about our campaign with friends, family, and fellow music lovers so they can lend their support to this beautiful project.
