For the past five years, MPA student artists have painted a piano for Keys 4/4 Kids as part of its “Pianos on Parade” program. Keys 4/4 Kids is led by Newell Hill (MPA Class of 1999). Typically, the piano is then returned to the organization, which sells it to raise funds to make the arts available to all people, regardless of income, age, or previous arts experience.
MPA’s student artists feel so connected to this year’s piano, that they will raise funds at the Spring Auction to purchase it from Keys 4/4 Kids so that it can remain at MPA forever. Not only will this piano benefit the entire MPA community, but it will also bring transformational arts experiences to others through Newell’s Keys 4/4 Kids. It’s a win-win-win, MPA alumni style.
