Dungeons and dragons and woodland fantasy creatures…oh my! Our newest piano artist, Courtney Dore of Ќodoprints, was inspired by “Seek and Find” children’s books like Where’s Waldo for her design. The design was also inspired by her beloved hobby of playing Dungeons and Dragons; a roleplaying game where you can get together with a group of friends and pretend to be a character within an interactive story. Courtney says seeing the pianos and other works of art in Old Town filled her with so much wonder as a kid, she says, “I hope to create the same sense of inspiration, excitement, and happiness for children in our community and perhaps inspire future young artists to pursue the things that bring them joy.” 👩🏼‍🎤🧑🏼‍🎤🧌🧚‍♀️🧚🏾 #focoart #focomusic #focomagic #paintedpianos #dungeonsanddragons

Our next piano is titled “Ebb & Flow” and is being painted by local artist Allison Ramirez (@setforthcreative).

Renee Peterson @peachie_queen_art is our newest piano artist. Come see her painting in the Art in Action Tent, on Mountain Ave. south of Old Town Square, through August 29.Renee sees her design as music itself. It is what she sees in her head when she closes her eyes and gets lost in a song. She specializes in abstract art but can do many styles. She believes art is essential and tries to create art that gives people a moment to themselves. A moment to escape and when they return, they can see the world more clearly. #focoart #focomusic #paintedpiano #streetpiano

Our next piano is funky! The piano is titled “The Sub Dudes Funk Trio with Hazel Herz on Keys” and local artists Tif Choate and Orion Choate describe the pianos as “a delicious, chromatic, funkadelic genius that sets the mood to grove.” The Sub Dudes are characters from a series of paintings from the imagination of Tif.

Our newest Pianos About Town artist is Kris Mendonça. His design, The Universe in a Piano Shell, illustrates the human desire to explore the universe in a comic-inspired style. The idea behind the design is to create a world around the piano spanning from Horsetooth to outer space.Mendonça is a Brazilian multimedia artist based in Fort Collins. In addition to working as an illustrator for over 16 years, he's a dance instructor, a movie maker and performs as Krisa Gonna @krisagonna in drag. Mendonça is painting the mural as both Kris and Krisa. #focoart #focomusic #paintedpiano #focoartist

Our newest Pianos About Town artist is Becca Black @bbeccabblackk. Becca is a proud Fort Collins native and art teacher at Fossil Ridge High School. Stop by and see her painting through June 20 at the Art in Action Tent on Mountain south of Old Town Square.Becca's design Bustling Beetles is about exploring composition and color with beetles! Beetles and insects have a brilliant history and connection to the arts. Becca has always admired their beauty, but fell more in love with all of their vibrancy when she first learned about their use in pigments. Paint making has a rich history and various insects are used in the creation of colors we still use today. #focoart #focomusic #paintedpianos

Chelsea Gilmore @chelseagilmoreart has started her Pianos About Town mural in the Art in Action Tent. Stop by and see her painting through October 4, on Mountain south of Old Town Square. Chelsea's design, Mind Map, reminds us where we came from and where we go from here. These patterns repeat themselves all over our world, the universe, and within our neurological system. This is how bubbles form, how water freezes, how the earth expands and contracts. Sometimes it is how music looks. Memories from unknown times are formed and there is a sense of longing and familiarity within the art. #focoart #focoartist #focomusic #paintedpianos #mural

Stop by and see her in the Art in Action Tent, south of Old Town on Mountain. Life is Good in the Alpine is inspired by Kaley's love for the crisp mountain air and wildlife that lies above the tree line.

Miranda Pehrson @mirandaspiano has started her Pianos About Town mural, Plant the Seed! Stop by and see her painting in the Art in Action Tent through September 6. It is on Mountain south of Old Town Square. Miranda's design, Plant the Seed, depicts a metaphor of personal development. On one side of the artwork the illustration is only a concept, drawn on college ruled paper, while the full color version is represented on the other side. She chose imagery of cactuses and succulents to further emphasize growth. She believes whether you wish to grown in you career, your behavior, as a musician, or as an artist--you cannot grown if you never plant the seed. #focoart #focomusic #paintedpianos #publicart #mural

Katie Fahrenbruch @katiefahrenbruch_art is putting the final touches on her Resting Chicken Face piano mural! For Resting Chicken Face, Katie includes her pet hens, adding unpredictability amongst the more static flowers and leaves. They gaze out at the viewer, almost in a challenging way, as chickens can seem to do. Hence the title of the piece. They’re goofy, weird, sometimes intimidating tiny dinosaurs and she wants to show their personalities. The breeds she chose to represent are standard backyard flock hens; Rhode Island Reds, Barred Rocks, Buff Orpingtons, Welsummer and a Black Cochin. #focoart #focomusic #paintedpiano #publicart #pianomural

Great job on “The Secret Life of Hummingbirds” Audrey and Elisabeth! It’s a rare gloomy day here Fort Collins, but this piano brings a lot of color to the street. And it takes rain to make flowers grow! 🌸 🐦 🎹 #focomusic #paintedpianos #focoart

The Secret Life of Hummingbirds is coming alive in the Art in Action Tent, north of Old Town Square on Mountain. Stop by and see Elisabeth Marsh and Audrey McCullough’s progress through August 2. Elisabeth and Audrey hope to draw in observers to take a closer look when they spot various hummingbird species flitting in and around the large flowers of the mural. The scene is set on a background with a bright blue sky and pastel clouds. Their desire is to create images of beauty that will inspire onlookers to notice beauty and the importance in the small things around them-not only in the mural but in everyday life. #focoart #focomusic #paintedpiano #publicart

Our last piano of the season is titled “Ratified” and is being painted by local artist Kristen Vohs. Kristen designed this piano in celebration of the centennial anniversary of the 19th amendment.

The colors are a bold and bright reflection of how far women have come in 100 years.” #focoart #focomusic #paintedpiano @itsgoghtime

I was taking a break (letting paint dry) from a mural I've been working on, and I stumbled across this post! It makes me smile to see my artwork pop up. Now to go see her in person! She's by the food coop and jazz alley in old town. Thank you @kendallljoy for giving me the location 💙 #pianosabouttown #localartist #commissionlife #acrylic #happyheart #yesmypianoisashe #regram

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! Please help us protect the pianos by covering them with the tarp and bungee cords attached to the back of each piano. #snow #paintedpianos #instaart #slowmo

This beautiful Thanksgiving themed piano is currently located in Old Town Square. #FortCollins #mymorningwalk #pianosabouttown

Got the fishies finished on my @pianos_about_town project. Workin' on the cats now and will finish it up Monday! #mural #painting #pianosabouttown #fish #colorful #schooloffish

So there is a piano right outside of the shop I work at, and I swear the most beautiful pianists find their way to it on those days you just need a beautiful melody in your life 🎶🌹

Mr Gollo (the piano I painted this summer) has been moved to the @bohemianfoundation show room. It seems is taking some time off from the crowds and it's hanging out with some colorful friends #colorfulpiano #piano #mermaidart #mermaids #mermaidsart #carlagamboaart #myart #my work #madewithlove #supportartist #supportsart #lifeoftheartist #pianosabouttown #downtownfortcollins #oldtownfortcollins #loveart #art #color #colorful #foco #fortcollins #fortcollinsart #mexicanartist

Happy 140th birthday, Colorado! My Colorado columbines piano is finished!!! Here's a look at the back of the piano. 🎨🎹

This is it! This is exactly what I saw on my first weekend in Fort Collins almost two years ago. The colorful and beautiful piano, someone playing it, kids playing around, what a happy moment... And now, I am part of it (as this time I am the one who painted the piano) thanks! What a joy to listen Mr Gollo's (the piano) music! #carlagamboaart #pianosabouttown #foco #fortcollins #fortcollinsinstagram #piano #myart #myartwork #downtownfortcollins #oldtownfortcollins #bohemianfoundation

Mr Gollo (the piano)has found a new home, (of course I visited him today) and he is proudly showing his "Sisters by heart" mural, right in the center of the main Fort Collins Old Town Square. I am a proud mama! #colorfulpiano #piano #mermaidart #mermaids #mermaidsart #carlagamboaart #myart #my work #madewithlove #supportartist #supportsart #lifeiftheartist #pianosabouttown #downtownfortcollins #oldtownfortcollins #loveart #art #color #colorful

And Mr Gollo (the piano) is done. I will miss this big guy. #carlagamboaart #pianosabouttown #foco #fortcollins #oldtownfortcollins #madewithlove #downtownfortcollins #art #artist #color #mermaifs #mermaidart inspirationmudic #piano #colorfulpiano
