SOUTH ORANGE, NJ — Playin’ Around South Orange, sponsored by PNC Bank, returns this August. The public art project, now in its third year, is accepting applications from artists to decorate one of six pianos that will be placed around the South Orange downtown area beginning Aug. 24. The installations will highlight both the visual and performing arts.
The South Orange Performing Arts Center is seeking local artists and/or artistic teams to submit proposals for painting the pianos. Applicants will be asked to submit images of prior work, or provide a website where the images can be viewed as part of the proposal/application process.
The submissions deadline is 6 p.m. on Friday, July 24, and the winning designs will be announced by Friday, July 31.
Piano artwork must be completed and ready for installation by the week of Aug. 24.
