In conjunction with the festival, an initiative called Paradice Pianos has been launched, emphasizing the importance of local art and culture. This project involves refurbishing pianos and adorning them with local artwork before donating them to community institutions, such as the Las Vegas Academy of the Arts. The first piano for this initiative was graciously donated by the Winchester Dondero Cultural Center and is currently displayed for public play at the Main Arts District Gallery until the day of the festival.
The piano has been artistically painted by local artist Daniel Esparza and will transition to its permanent home at the Las Vegas Academy of the Arts following the festival.
