Our Story
Michigan Piano Project started in Detroit with a simple observation: thousands of quality pianos are discarded every year while communities lack access to musical instruments in public spaces. We saw an opportunity to bridge that gap — not through charity, but through a sustainable model of restoration, artistic collaboration, and community partnership.
Every piano we place is funded through sponsorships and partnerships. Every placement creates a ripple — in the artist who paints it, the community that hosts it, and the strangers who stop to play.
We're early-stage and growing deliberately. Our model is designed to be replicable, sustainable, and rooted in genuine community relationships.
