Smyrna Arts & Cultural Council and Smyrna Parks & Recreation partnered with the amazing Campbell High School Art department on the second Playful Pianos of Smyrna offering. Susan Thayer, Cobb County Board of Education member, generously donated the baby grand piano. Art teachers Lisa Underwood and Michael Ross worked with approximately 35 CHS Students, for over 70 hours of painting to create a Keith Haring inspired, Smyrna specific, masterpiece. The intricate layout of the design incorporates Smyrna’s signature Jonquil flower, a reference to the new Sun Trust stadium, strips of bacon to honor the mayor, and a plethora of dancing figures fueled by DJ Dog. The piano has been installed under the large square pavilion in front of Smyrna City Hall on W. Spring Street.
