Steinway Project
Following in the footsteps of the highly successful Art in the City projects comes a remarkable new set of breathtaking original artworks: Art Case Collection Steinway pianos, customized by BC artists.
Commissioned by Tom Lee Music Canada, the pianos will be featured in concerts and performances in BC, then sold following the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Partial proceeds will go to the BC Lions Society for Children with Disabilities.
