MINI: Driving Hope
Access to music is dwindling in NYC schools (such programs have declined by 47% since 2007). To raise awareness around this,
MINI and charity Sing For Hope literally made music more accessible to everyone—by placing 50 hand-painted pianos around NYC.
Then, we used MINI's surprising storage space to create a roving 51st piano, which performed all over the city for 21-straight days.
