The story behind the pianos on Denver’s 16th Street Mall
http://www.denverpost.com/2016/05/10/the-story-behind-the-pianos-on-denvers-16th-street-mall/
snip...
For the past seven years, the Downtown Denver Partnership’s Business Improvement District has placed pianos in the median between Tremont and Lawrence streets on the 16th Street Mall for any passerby — musically inclined or not — to play.
snip...
The 10 pianos on display are repainted each year by local artists of all ages, including students from Denver public schools. (Come April each year, technicians come to the piano’s storage facility near the mall to do maintenance on them before they’re painted.) There is no given theme, but many of this year’s artists gravitated toward a natural element, adorning their frames with painted blossoms and tree branches.
