Call for Artists: 2025 YBG Piano

Ok, painters. This one’s for YOU.

The Conservancy is seeking a local artist to paint the piano (photo shared)—all external visible areas, except the bench. Stipend of $1000. Artist to provide all supplies and latex paint (water base/sustainable), and paint it on site, to be ready no later than April 30th. Design to be approved by Conservancy Executive Director. Deadline for submission of artwork is Monday, March 31st.

This piano will be repainted every year and rolled out during the warm months any time there’s not already programming happening so that the public can play it. Don’t you wanna be a part of that?

Next steps: Email a brief bio and portfolio to engagement@ybgardens.org by midnight on February 15th. We will reach out to selected artists with more details about dimensions and process.
