SFU Semester at CityStudio
Keys to the Streets began as a SFU Semester at CityStudio project in the spring of 2013, placing one piano at McAuley Park. That summer, GP Mendoza lead the project’s expansion pilot throughout the City of Vancouver with four outdoor pianos. CityStudio expanded the program once more in the summer of 2014 with 10 pianos.
Each piano is placed in an outdoor public space with a bench and a rain cover and is looked after by a community steward for the summer months. The project is made possible through partnerships and collaboration with City of Vancouver staff, community organizations, individuals and business sponsors.
