CREATING A BETTER WORLD THROUGH THE ARTS

OUR MISSION

Sing for Hope harnesses the power of the arts to create a better world. Our creative programs bring hope, healing, and connection to millions of people in hospitals, care facilities, schools, refugee camps, transit hubs, and community spaces worldwide. Founded in New York City in 2006, Sing for Hope partners with hundreds of community-based organizations, mobilizes thousands of artists in creative service, and produces artist-created Sing for Hope Pianos across the US and around the world. The official Cultural Partner of the World Summit of Nobel Peace Laureates, Sing for Hope champions art for all because we believe the arts have an unmatched capacity to uplift, unite, and heal.

WHAT WE DO

Sing for Hope uplifts lives by unleashing creativity virtually and in-person for under-resourced schools, healthcare facilities, refugee camps, transit hubs, and public spaces. Our work ranges from arts workshops that improve academics for at-risk students, to specialized music programs that enhance cognition for dementia patients, to arts interventions that facilitate integration for refugee youth, to the Sing for Hope Pianos that unite communities in our world’s public spaces.

SFH is an “artists’ peace corps” that reaches millions of people annually in our home-base of NYC and around the globe. Guided by the UN Sustainable Development Goals and in partnership with hundreds of community-based organizations and thousands of artist partners, SFH uses the creative arts for healing, learning, and social cohesion.
