Vandals struck in downtown Redwood City, damaging a community piano that had been unveiled just two weeks ago.
The piano was part of a new campaign focusing on the sights, sounds and tastes of Redwood City . The association that paid for the project and the artist who designed it are upset. But they say they won't let this put a stop to the music.For a few short days, this showstopper of a piano launched many mini-concerts in downtown Redwood City ."This idea was beautiful. It's not only a piece of art. It's something you can touch, play with it," says artist Fernando Escartiz.
But still a major disappointment.On Friday, crews wheeled the piano into city hall for safekeeping."Fingers and toes crossed I think it's repairable, and we'll bring it right back out because that's what you have to do," said Buckmaster.The artist says he's hopeful the piano will return to its spot on Jazz Plaza soon."I hope the piano can be back again. And also invite the community to protect the piano because it is not our piano anymore.
