Play these pianos, they're yours

Play these pianos, they're yours

Cincinnati Public Radio is celebrating a combined 150 years of broadcasting by engaging the community with "Play Me, I'm Yours," an interactive art installation by the British artist Luke Jerram. I first got a chance to witness the installation in New York in June. Dozens, then hundreds of people were gathered around a piano as people of various talents performed. There were a lot of smiles.

Cincinnati Public Radio has an interactive webpage on their Website that maps the locations of the piano and will also keep people update as the pianos move to various locations around the greater Cincinnati area. The website encourages comments. "After Play Me, I'm Yours" ends its run, the pianos will be donated to community art centers and local children in need of an instrument.
