Beautiful live piano music reverberating throughout the UP Civic/Library Atrium is the latest goal of UP for Arts in University Place.
UP for Arts sponsors the popular Spring and Fall Arts & Concerts series pairing visual and performing artists in the acoustically spectacular atrium. As many performances require piano rentals, the group decided to launch the “88 Keys” fundraising campaign to purchase a concert quality Grand Piano.
“We decided on the “88 Keys” campaign because there are 88 keys on a piano,” said UP for Arts Chair Bunny Nance. “People who contribute $88 receive a commemorative key as well as the knowledge they are helping enhance future cultural performances.”
So far, more than $9,000 has been raised toward the $20,000 goal which includes security measures. “This campaign will allow us to obtain a quality grand piano that will satisfy the demands of the most discerning pianists,” said Nance. The group plans to donate the piano to the City for future use. For more info on donations, visit www.upforarts.org.
