Your Keys to the City, a public piano art program created by the Downtown Denver Partnership, will return this May with 10 spring-themed pianos painted by local artists and located along the 16th Street Mall. The pianos will remain outside until September 30th and will be available for the public to play from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., seven days a week (weather dependent).
“The pianos along the 16th Street Mall taught us that people have a voracious appetite for opportunities to make music,” said Tami Door, President & CEO of the Downtown Denver Partnership. “Our ability to showcase the talents of local artists through this program has also been invaluable. There is so much creative talent in our community – Your Keys to the City is helping us share this.”
About Your Keys to the City
In the winter of 2009, seven uniquely painted upright pianos appeared along the 16th Street Mall in Downtown Denver. Created by the Downtown Denver Partnership, Your Keys to the City was designed to encourage residents, employees and tourists in Downtown Denver to interact with their public spaces in new and spontaneous ways—while contributing to the vibrancy within our urban core. All pianos are donated to the program and painted by Colorado artists. Pianos are covered during inclement weather.
