xThe concrete block wall finished with stucco has surrounded the pumphouse at Fountain Park for the past 50 years. It provides security and screens the utilitarian nature of the facility’s use.
In recent years high school art students and volunteers have painted murals on the wall as a decorative touch. The murals are described as expensive, labor intensive and not particularly durable having to be repainted every couple of years.
Last year the Public Art Committee of the Fountain Hills Civic and Cultural Association (FHCCA), aka, “I Love Fountain Hills,” offered a new plan to provide an exhibit of artists’ work on an annual rotating basis.
