harmonies

On August 2, Art in the City brought people to Downtown Dayton. 300 local artists shared their talents with more than 30 hands-on activities and demonstrations, and more than 100 live performances. It was a way to celebrate the local artists, creatives, and art lovers who help keep Dayton's arts community thriving. One of the exhibits that remained downtown was Harmonies, a set of interactive music boxes, placed at various locations around town. These instruments have now moved on to their next destination.

Last week I took my daughter's birthday card to the downtown Dayton post office and then had a nice stroll around town to see the Harmonies music boxes located at Courthouse Square, Levitt Pavilion, the Dayton Convention Center, and the Seed of Life sculpture in the Oregon District. I cranked the music boxes to hear the music, causing people who were around to look up from their phones to see what was going on. I walked a little over a mile going from instrument and took quite a few photos, too.
