Three Pianos, Three Local Artists, One Great Cause!
Three amazing local artists showcased their talents and creativity by decorating three pianos. Did you catch Kylie painting her piano at the Anacortes Arts Festival’s Working Studios section? The three pianos are currently on display in downtown Anacortes in the heart of the Anacortes Creative District.
During the Anacortes Open Streets on August 25th, the pianos will be auctioned off and moved to their new homes. Proceeds from the auction will benefit the Anacortes High School and Anacortes Middle School Choir & Band Programs. Click here to bid on your favorite piano.
The pianos are outside of Bayshore Office Products, Calico Cupboard Cafe and Bakery, and Creative Hub & Coffeehouse on Commercial Ave through Labor Day weekend.
Thank you to North Sound Piano for donating, moving, and tuning these works of art.
