FOUNTAIN HILLS CULTURAL AND CIVIC ASSOCIATION INC

Fountain Hills Public Art Committee has worked to create an excellent collection of public art. Pieces are located inside of the Fountain Hills Community Center, Town Hall, Centennial Circle, Fountain Park, Avenue of the Fountains, and other locations throughout the community. Pump House Pilot Project - The Public Art Committee conducted a national call to artists to create a new and exciting outdoor art gallery exhibit for the mural wall at Fountain Park with the inaugural theme for 2023 being Legends and Lore of the Valley of the Sun. The 7 finalist's art were transposed onto 4'h x 8'w horizontal Dibond brushed metal panels secured by a locked bracket system. There are no sharp edges and the metal weathered well without fading in our climate. Each panel has the artist's name, title of the piece, a small descriptive paragraph and a sponsor of the panel. Fountain of Light - Our iconic fountain, the centerpiece of our Town, celebrated its 50th anniversary a year ago. To commemorate this momentous celebration, local artist Brian Schader is bringing a new sculpture to our public art collection. This magnificent glass spire, inspired by our fountain, represents what it means to all who live and visit our beautiful Town. Few will argue the power and majesty of our grand fountain and how it anchors the design of our entire community.
