A COMMUNITY OF<br />

Art Lovers & Artists<br />

<strong>Fountain</strong> <strong>Hills</strong> is known as an artist’s community. A collection of 105 pieces<br />

of public art can be enjoyed from just about any angle. Sculptures, water<br />

features and other works of art adorn the downtown streets, plazas, parks and<br />

other public places.<br />

Docent-led art walk tours are available the first Saturday of every<br />

month from November through April and can also be arranged by special<br />

appointment for groups by calling 480.816.5151. An art walk map is also<br />

available at kiosks and online for those who wish to conduct their own selfguided<br />

tour. No matter where you begin, if you take in all of the artwork, over<br />

a day or several days, you will find that you have also taken in different parts<br />

of the world.<br />

Visitors and residents also delight in the generous amount of artwork with<br />

an appeal to children, making it an excellent introduction to art. Even those<br />

just beginning to read will see (once they peek over the sculpture mom’s<br />

shoulder) what book is featured in A Good Book, just outside the library. You<br />

can preview all the art at fountainhillspublicart.com.<br />
