 Next time you’re at Bunjil Place, don’t be surprised to hear some tinkling of the ivories.
A vibrantly-painted piano has been installed in Bunjil’s plaza as part of the Play Me, I’m Yours event across Melbourne.
Working on the instrument were five artists from Casey Aboriginal Gathering Place: Joy Sellars, Heather Kennedy, Lucille Boothey, Natasha Smith and Greg Matthews.
Each of them were assigned the various panels, sides and seats for decoration.
Another piano decorated by MacKillop Family Services has been stationed at Royal Botanic Gardens Cranbourne.
The event is presented in partnership with Arts Centre Melbourne and City of Casey.
It runs until 4 February.
