I passed by four pianos today while walking around town and each one had a talented pianist (or in some cases two or three) at the keys, totally in their element. I loved it. Here’s KXAN’s story explaining the art project:
Pianos Play Into Texas Capital Scenery
“If you walk around Downtown Austin, you might see a strange sight in various parts of the city — pianos.
For the next month, 17 upright pianos will be placed in random spots around town.
“Museums and galleries are great, but there is something about bringing art into the streets that changes it, makes it a little more democratic in a way,” said Austin artist Johnny Walker.
Walker is in charge of installing the art project that has become an international sensation, called Play Me I’m Yours.”
