While there’s never a shortage of ways to enjoy downtown Albany, you only have a few more weeks to experience the playable pianos that make up the 2014 Sculpture in the Streets. Even if you aren’t a piano player, we recommend making the most of the exhibit by using them to add something unique to your photos and videos while making some great memories
The 13 pianos around Downtown are part of the international touring artwork Play Me, I’m Yours. Currently, the only city you’ll see the exhibit is right here in Albany. Designed by regional artists, each piano has a completely different look.
Maps of all piano locations can be picked up at the Downtown Albany BID office at 40 N Pearl Street, various locations around Downtown, or viewed/downloaded online at www.downtownalbany.org
Looking for some other ideas? Here are some we’ve come up with:
-
Take wedding or engagement photos at the pianos for shots few other people in the world will get
-
Take family photos at one or all of the pianos
-
Videos of family members playing or practicing, or singing along
-
Get some friends – or strangers – together for a dance off while someone plays
-
Propose to your significant other
-
Set an exercise route to stop by all 13 pianos. You can run, walk, or ride by and add something fun to your routine
-
Gather friends or family who play for a friendly competition
What other ideas do you have for ways to make the most of the pianos? You only have until July 27, 2014 before the exhibit ends!
