Piano Transformation Design Challenge

Ann-Marie HERMANS (South-Eastern Metropolitan) (09:42): First of all, I was pleased to attend the Piano Transformation Design Challenge last week presented by Pianos Recycled at the Kingston Arts Centre. The Pianos Recycled event is one of only two hosting a Melbourne Design Week event; one was in Southern Metropolitan and the other in the South-Eastern Metropolitan Region. Local artists used materials from reclaimed and unwanted pianos to design and create their pieces, and I had the privilege of purchasing a ukulele made from a piano that dated back to the 1800s in Victoria. I would like to thank and congratulate all of those artists and Pianos Recycled on their wonderful exhibition.
