Pianos were painted by local artists and placed in various locations on State Street. Professional musicians were scheduled throughout the week to play on the pianos. The rest of the time, anyone was free to tickle the keys.
Paseo Nuevo Mall location.
Granada Theater location. The pianist had ladies singing along with his songs!
Arlington Theater location.
La Arcada location.
No one was playing on this piano, so we messed around.
This was also my favorite art/decor piano.
It was such a delight to walk down the street and hear a piano playing on most blocks. I absolutely loved this idea, it's interactiveness, and hope they do it again next year.

Super fun and the last one is my favorite too!
What an amazing idea!! I've never even heard about this (then again, I'm not ever really up in Santa Barbara...), but it's so inspired! I love that it combines both music and art, and it involves so many artists of different fields! How inspiring indeed :)
Really cool!
These pianos are fantastic -- and any art installment that also brings music into a community is excellent in my book.
