When Project Art Works were approached about the Painted Piano project by the team at Hastings International Piano Competition we knew that Mark Lockton would enjoy the challenge. Hastings International Piano is committed to artistic excellence while also enriching the local community through music. Through its Learning & Participation programme, the charity broadens access to the arts and supports local talent. This year, those aims come together in a new Painted Pianos project, with three community groups transforming upright pianos into colourful, playable artworks that will be installed in public spaces for everyone to enjoy during the Hastings International Piano Competition, 26 February to 7 March.
