Launching on April 27 for a 3 month period, the Play Your City brigade of pianos will be in various locations around Downtown. On April 27 and 28, 2013 Fort Lauderdale Play Your City will launch during a weekend event that spans both FATVillage’s monthly Art Walk and Riverwalk’s Sunday Arts event. The City of Fort Lauderdale and Riverwalk Fort Lauderdale have partnered with Cadence, a downtown bas
ed Landscape Architecture and Urban Design firm to collaborate on this public art and music installation. The launch event will be held Saturday April 27 along the 400 Block on Andrews Avenue in FATVillage Arts District from 7pm-11pm and Sunday April 28th in the Riverwalk Pavilion amid the Sunday Arts vendors from 11am-2pm. The double header launch event will feature the brigade of pianos all for the public to view before they are dispersed throughout Downtown Fort Lauderdale. A map of the piano’s traveling schedule will be on display and featured artists will be on hand for attending visitors to meet. The public will also have a hand in deciding the final location of each of these pianos. A ballot of various locations downtown will be provided for visitors to choose the top destinations for each piano to make its final home. Play Your City will feature repurposed pianos by artists:
