Free the Music PGH is an initiative founded by Hudson Colletti, a Pittsburgh musician who envisions public pianos throughout Pittsburgh to foster human connection through music, with the potential to break down the barriers between us.

This piano was painted by artist Cue Perry. Perry describes his art as “[not] for the safe, level -headed, boring, single mined person. It’s not for the practical, It’s not for the rational person. It’s not for the calm, businesslike, no-nonsense crowd. I want my art to speak to the wild, creative open minds who dare to express themselves. The minds who aren’t afraid of fun, I want to excite the untamed and untapped creative parts of the mind.”

This upright piano is bright and colorful with hues of green, yellow, pink, purple, red, and teal. Striking white lines adorn the piece as well, resembling spray paint line art typically seen in works of graffiti.
