Five donated pianos were re-purposed by local artists and demonstrated a low-cost way to instantly activate public spaces and ultimately improve the livability of the city. This collaboration between the City of Fort Lauderdale, Riverwalk Fort Lauderdale and Cādence showed the power of connecting the right organizations and putting opportunities for creativity to happen in the community’s hands. Play Your City FTL launched during a weekend event on April 27th and 28th of 2013 that spanned both FATVillage’s monthly Art Walk and Riverwalk’s Sunday Arts event. Play Your City featured repurposed pianos by artists, Brian Buzzella, Luzalma Gonzalez, Richard Vergez, and MoAFL Art School Students.
