Coming back for National Arts and Humanities Month, Pianos on State is celebrating its 13th year, featuring 14 uniquely painted pianos scattered among the Santa Barbara area. Local artists in the area painted each piano in vibrant colors, lighting up street corners with interactive artwork. The initiative seeks to reintroduce the arts into people’s everyday lives, opening creativity up to all those seeking its pleasures. Whether you’ve never played a key or are familiar with its locks, the wonders of the piano are inclusive to all.
