Play Me, I’m Yours: New York City 2010
“Play Me, I’m Yours” is an artwork by British artist Luke Jerram who has been touring the project globally since 2008.
Presented in NYC with Sing for Hope, 60 pianos were installed in public parks, streets and plazas in June 2010. Like a creative blank
canvas, the pianos were there for any member of the public to play and engage with.
This website was made for you to post and share your films, photos and stories about the pianos. There have been over 1600
uploaded so far! See highlights. Whilst connecting the pianos and communities across the city the website acts as a legacy for the
artwork in NYC. At its peak this site had 100,000 hits in one day! Following the installation, the majority of the pianos were donated
to local schools and community groups.
