2019: Year One​

There are Six Painted Pianos around Fremont County and each has a story

Picture
Fremont County Painted Pianos was born out a tradition in New York City.
Every spring, pianos are beautifully decorated by local artists and placed on the streets to allow anyone and everyone to enjoy them.
​
Cameron Michael Fehring decided to create a similar project here in Fremont County. "Every single person deserves the experience these wonderful pianos can bring. Some of the most amazing performances I have ever seen were born out of complete strangers gathering around a piano on the street. Entirely happenstance." 

The pianos will be rolled out into the community on June 13th after a Public Gala at the Riverton Branch Library.  There will be three in Riverton and three in Lander.  Fehring stated, "The most important thing to know about these pianos is that everyone is encouraged to play them and enjoy them.  From novice to professional, even if you've never touched a piano before, play for yourself, play for others, just play."

The pianos will remain at their places until September.  Please document your experiences with the Pianos by using the hashtags:

All six pianos were serviced, repaired, and tuned by
Robert Hussa Piano Service.  Serving Fremont County since 1977!

Noelle Weimann is an artist of Lander Wyoming. She holds a BS in Oil Painting and a BA in Art History from Southern Connecticut State University. She specializes in pleinair and figure painting, where she can create works in a limited time frame, capturing the quick movements, energy and personality of her subject matter. Weimann explores space by using color. Her palette evokes emotion and movement by exaggerated light and color saturation. Weimann attributes her style to her own visual light sensitivity and natural dilation of the eyes. Weimann draws inspiration from Fauvists and other Postmodern movements. She is a self described ‘colorist’ and employs color as a catalyst in her art. Weimann will also use layered line work in her expression as a way of showing ‘color fields’ or ‘energy planes.’ Weimann is currently a member of Sweetwater Studio and of Alchemy An Artists’ Cooperative, both located on Main Street, Lander Wyoming.
