The annual Pianos for Peace Festival takes place in Atlanta over a two-week period where painted pianos are placed in public spaces and parks of the city for anyone to play.[2] Afterward, the pianos are donated to schools, community centers, hospitals, nursing homes and other organizations in need.[3] Pianos for Peace volunteer artists contribute to year-round outreach programs that reach various under-resourced communities throughout Metro Atlanta.
