The interactive art exhibit Play Me, I’m Yours struck a major chord with the Austinites who came out to play and decorate 14 pianos that were strategically placed throughout downtown Austin. Participants ranged from accomplished musicians to curious passers-by.

Exhibit organizers, artist Johnny Walker and Art Alliance Austin, placed pianos in locations such as City Hall Plaza, the First Street Pedestrian  Bridge, W Austin, and the Long Center. The exhibit was created by British artist Luke Jarrem in 2008 and has since made the international rounds. Austin is the 17th city to host the musical display.

Below is a video documenting the art exhibit.
