established Sing for Hope as a resource for New York artists who want to use their art to give back to their community.
The Sing for Hope Pianos project, one of New York City's largest public art projects, brings artist-painted pianos to the parks and public spaces of the city. The pianos often feature formal and impromptu concerts and have been likened to an open festival of music bringing together New York’s culturally diverse population.

''CBS News'' wrote that the project was "reminding us all of the power of music to inspire and unite."
