FOR ONE-DAY-ONLY EVENT
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 2021
Celebrated Broadway Actress and Singer Daphne Rubin-Vega to Receive 2021 Sing for Hope ‘Art for All Award’
The beloved Sing for Hope Pianos will return to 28 Liberty Plaza on Tuesday, September 28, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. when Sing for Hope launches 10 artist-designed pianos for anyone and everyone to play as a one-day-only special event. Each of the 10 pianos celebrate a past collaboration with New York City artists. Sing for Hope will also present its Art for All Award to actress, dancer and singer-songwriter Daphne Rubin-Vega at the event.
Each year, Sing for Hope selects local and international artists to design and paint pianos that are placed in parks and other public spaces for all to play. Through a special partnership with the New York City Department of Education, Sing for Hope then places all of the Sing for Hope Pianos in permanent homes in public schools to benefit thousands of New York City school children. Sing for Hope Pianos – first launched in 2010 – has become the Sing for Hope’s signature initiative and one of the world’s largest annual recurring public arts programs, with more than 500 one-of-a-kind piano artworks placed in public spaces from The Bronx to Beirut, and Aspen to Athens, supporting local visual artists and creating music experiences for all ages.
The Sing for Hope Pianos to be featured include pianos created this year and in previous years by New York City artists, including Robert Padovano, Victoria Wrubel, Morgan Winter, Julia Cocuzza, Nupur Nishith, Alyson Fraser Diaz, Jieun Yang, Imani Shaklin Roberts, Christopher Spinelli, and Gily Gil-Lugo. www.singforhope.org
