Our creative programs bring hope, healing, and connection to millions of people in hospitals, schools, care facilities, and public spaces worldwide. A non-profit organization founded in New York City in response to the events of 9/11, Sing for Hope partners with hundreds of community-based organizations, mobilizes thousands of artists in creative service, and produces artist-created Sing for Hope Pianos across the United States and around the world. Sing for Hope's Public Health & Wellbeing program co-creates research-based arts interventions that foster wellness and connection in partnership with hospitals, care facilities, community centers, and public spaces.
