We’re doing something that we’ve never done before: In partnership with our friends at PianFrancisco, Art in the Parks will be putting pianos in one of San Francisco’s oldest and most iconic buildings, Fort Point.

Located under the Golden Gate Bridge, Fort Point was built over 150 years ago to protect the San Francisco Bay from potential intruders. It’s an architectural gem that offers breathtaking views of the world’s most photographed bridge. Art in the Parks brings creative programs that are unexpected, inspirational, and transformative in the Golden Gate National Parks.
