Call Summary
Fulton County Arts & Culture (FCAC) is partnering with Pianos for Peace (P4P) to unite our communities through mutual fellowship, truth, harmony and the transformative power of music.
P4P’s flagship program, the Pianos for Peace Festival, is a community arts initiative that places artist-created pianos in parks and public spaces throughout Metro Atlanta in fall. Our emphasis will be to ensure the placement of pianos throughout Fulton County. For two weeks in September, the pianos remain outdoors for anyone to play and everyone to enjoy. After the Festival, Pianos for Peace donates the pianos to local schools, healthcare facilities, and community organizations in need.

Artwork Goals
PIANOS FOR PEACE FCAC GUIDELINES
The Pianos for Peace-FCAC guidelines are designed to:
1. Ensure accessibility for all communities who encounter the piano displays
2. Comply with regulations involving permitting, branding and public safety enforced by Fulton County, City of Atlanta and other partners
3. Protect the instruments during design and painting
These Guidelines are Non-Negotiable
• Copyrighted materials, including the images/writings of any other artist(s) or the appropriation of another person’s name and/or likeness are not permitted on the pianos.
• Corporate logos, branding, website URLs and hashtags are not permitted anywhere on the piano at any time, with the exception of Pianos for Peace and select project sponsors. We welcome the artist’s signature in an area designated by Pianos for Peace prior to the painting period.
• Pianos may not contain obscenities, nudity, political messages, religious iconography, and distasteful images.
• All parts of the piano pertaining to the instrument’s sound and functionality must remain intact and unpainted, including but not limited to keys, strings, inner workings, pedal rods, casters, etc.
• Seams may not be covered/painted over, to ensure that our technicians can access the pianos’ internal mechanisms at all times.
• Objects that could be detached or cause harm to individuals may not be attached to the piano, and no part of the piano may be removed at any time.
• Use of spray paint or toxic materials is prohibited at all times, as painting will occur in an indoor space.
• Artists are encouraged to paint the backs of vertical/upright pianos (the soundboard), but no additional materials may be used or attached.
• The use of electric sanders is prohibited. All sanding must be done with a sanding block.
• For maintenance purposes, miscellaneous hardware will be attached to each piano by Pianos for Peace after the painting and before the public installation.
