Encore!

The Arts Council of Williamson County(ACWC) and  Steinway Piano Gallery of Nashville are collaborating on a joint fundraiser to benefit the Arts Council’s  arts education program and the Steinway Society of Nashville.  Encore! is inviting artists to take unusable piano parts and turn them into art.  The piano parts are being donated by Samick Music Corporation, a manufacturer of musical instruments.  The completed artwork will be juried by the Encore! Committee  to determine which pieces will be auctioned off in the silent auction and which in the live auction.  The artist will determine the beginning sale price of work to be auctioned and will receive 20% of the final price with the remaining 80% going to ACWC and the Steinway Society.  If any work is not sold it will be returned to the artist.  For more information about this project and a complete list of rules and deadlines please visit the ACWC website (click on the button below).
