Play Me, I’m Yours: Cincinnati 2010

Touring internationally since 2008, “Play Me, I’m Yours” is an artwork by artist Luke Jerram.

From the 9th-27th August, 35 street pianos will be distributed across Greater Cincinnati to celebrate the anniversaries of 90.9 WGUC (50 years), 91.7 WVXU (40 years), and 88.5 WMUB (60 years). Located in public parks, streets and squares, the pianos are for any member of the public to play and enjoy.

This website was made for the public to post their comments, films and photos about the pianos. Whilst documenting each piano’s journey the website will connect the pianos and their communities across the city. After being in place for the project, they will be donated to community art centers and local children in need of an instrument.
