Pianos For Play

 

Role: Creative Director

As the Creative Director, Amalya co-developed the project's concept, recruited board members, found 5 student artists to paint the pianos, managed supplies and budget as well as worked with various campus organizations to ensure legality of piano placement on campus.

Pianos for Play brought painted pianos to the University of Maryland campus for students to play at leisure.
