The Town of Fountain Hills Docent-Led Art Walks is concluding a fifth season this Saturday, April 12.

Taking advantage of one of the largest collections of art on public display, the town hosts the docent-led art walks on one Saturday each month through April. Volunteer docents provide information on the walks about each piece they visit, the techniques used to create the piece and a background on each artist that created the piece. The art walks are a cooperative effort between the Town of Fountain Hills, the Chamber of Commerce, and the Public Art Committee of the Cultural and Civic Association.

This year’s tours have once again been revamped and include several new pieces.

The Centennial Circle Tour begins at 9 a.m. at the Community Center and features nearly 30 pieces of in the plaza area.

The Community Center/Library Tour also begins at 9 a.m. at the Community Center and features nearly 30 pieces located inside the common areas of both the Community Center and the Library.

The Fountain Park Tour begins at 11 a.m. at the Teddy Roosevelt statue in the park and features nearly 20 pieces located throughout the park.

The all new Hidden Gems Tour begins at 7:45 a.m. at the Community Center and features nearly 20 pieces located in classrooms and other areas normally occupied or inaccessible to the public. This tour is held the third Wednesday of each month, coming up April 16.

Participants should wear comfortable shoes, bring bottled water, and be prepared to walk throughout the tours.

The tours are free, but participants who donate $5 will receive a complementary coffee mug. Pre-registration is required as the number that can be taken on the art walks is limited.
