The pianos are out for the summer!! This year, we have 5 beautiful pianos available to play around town. The Davis Senior High School Community Arts Society painted the piano located at the Hunt-Boyer Mansion (thank you to Kyle Monhollen at the high school for helping). The piano at Central Park was painted by students from Birch Lane Elementary School (thank you to Amy George for coordinating). We also have a piano at the UC Davis Arboretum, the Davis Food Co-Op, and the Davis Public Library. Please share pictures and videos to our Facebook or Instagram pages and have a great summer!
