100 year old
Player Piano
Experience a charming piece of vintage entertainment that celebrates American ingenuity. This unique piano requires the player to pedal with real effort, making the music come alive through muscle power. Cyclists especially love it! Enjoy lively ragtime tunes and timeless classics from an extensive collection of paper rolls. It's incredibly entertaining and sure to bring a smile to your face!
Three ways we build a sense of
community and purpose.
We offer hands-on learning that meets visitors of all ages and stages of life where they are. We accomodate the needs of everyone by designing positive experiences and making Art for All..
FAMILIES and FRIENDS SHARING EXPERIENCES
In the age of digital everything and artificial intelligence, we offer hands-on fun things to do together. If it is sifting through piles of beautiful beads, making a necklace, trying on a new coat, pumping the petals of a 100 year old player piano or doing a scavnger hunt with Bandonia the Phoenix, what we offer is REAL AND FUN!
EVERYONE WORKING TOGETHER TO MAKE THE ART PARK
begins in Summer 2027
ArtPark 101 is a place where people from all walks of life—whether they are farmers, fishermen, teachers, artists, or students—can come together to share ideas and create. Our goal is to build a vibrant community through collaborative projects such as creatng, mosaic walls, winding pathways, colorful planters, whimsical wind chimes, bold sculptures, and graceful installations. Everyone who joins is part of shaping this inclusive space that celebrates creativity and connection.
ACCESSIBLE ART FOR ALL
Our accessible exhibits are designed to invite everyone, including those who may feel hesitant. By using recycled household items, we connect art to everyday life and teach valuable lessons about sustainability, upcycling, and waste reduction. Visitors are encouraged to touch the artworks, and often, the community actively participates in creating them!
