Play Me, I'm Yours

Omaha: 2013

Touring internationally since 2008, Play Me, I’m Yours is an artwork by artist Luke Jerram. More than 900 pianos have now been installed in 36 cities across the globe, from New York to Sydney, bearing the simple invitation Play Me, I’m Yours.

Omaha Creative Institute placed 10 street pianos throughout Omaha and Council Bluffs in public locations, including parks, landmarks, a pedestrian bridge, shopping centers and more from August 23 – September 8 2013. Everyone had full access to play the pianos, which were designed and decorated by local artists.  The street pianos that were still in working order at the end of the installation have been donated to local community groups, not-for-profits and educational facitlies. We are delighted to announce that Omaha Entertainment & Arts Award have awarded OCI Best Public Art for Play Me, I’m Yours 2013 at the 8th Annual OEA Awards!

This website was made for the public to share photos, videos and comments about the project with the aim of documenting each piano’s journey, it connects the pianos and their neighborhoods across the metro and acts as a legacy for the artwork.

As part of an international experiment Omaha artists decorate pianos, which are then rolled out around the city, resulting in impromptu street concerts with all types of music. We feature some of these performances--some good, some not so good and learn how this unique project brings a mix of music and art directly to the people.
