Piano artwork for passersby to play now at harbour terminal

A piano that passersby can play is on display at Guernsey’s harbour terminal.

Guernsey Arts’ Piano Project is now at the terminal, with artwork designed by Tiffany Anna also on display in the departures lounge.

Guernsey Ports said visitors were welcome to play the piano, regardless of whether they were are an established musician or not, to leave travellers with a “smile”.

David Buddery, commercial development project manager, said Guernsey Ports was working with local artists and organisations in a bid to bring its “terminals to life”.

He said: “Our ports are fantastic opportunities to showcase Guernsey talent to local travellers and visitors.

“In turn, it helps to modernise our facilities and create positive impressions at the start and end of people’s journeys.”

The Piano Project began in 2019 as an opportunity for local artists to put forward their artwork for a piano, which would take centre stage in a public space.

The piano has previously been located at Guernsey Airport and the Performing Arts Centre.

Mr Buddery said Tiffany Anna’s artwork, displayed adjacent to the duty-free shop, was a “bright and eye-catching” addition to the departures lounge.

Tiffany Anna said: “This was such a fun project to bring to life. I’m grateful to Guernsey Ports for the opportunity – and I hope the artwork makes people smile and brings a bit of happiness to their day.”
