Everett Has Public Pianos, Too

Seattle recently launched, in conjunction with KEXP, the Pianos in Your Parks projects. 20 pianos, placed in parks throughout the city, for anyone to play. I find the notion brilliant! Take a moment to follow that link and learn.

Now Everett has launched something similar. See the details below. I intend to check these out.

Street Tunes is an interactive art project, from start to finish, beginning with the commissioning of artists to decorate each piano.  Pianos are placed on the street and anyone can stop and play a tune or just tickle the keys.  Each location has maps so that you can create a treasure hunt of unique pianos while exploring Everett.  The piano with the most votes will be awarded the “People’s Choice Award” by the City of Everett.

See the 2013 Street Tunes pianos’ locations below and for a map, pictures, and an opportunity to vote go to: http://www.ci.everett.wa.us/default.aspx?ID=2129  (Go to the bottom of the page below the map to vote for your favorite! – or  these may work – View Street Tunes: Piano Locations in a larger map Click here to vote for your favorite piano
