Here’s a great way to take a good walk while seeing and learning about outstanding works of art. Beginning November 7, and on every first Saturday of the month through April 3, guided tours will be offered of the Town’s nearly 70 sculptures located at the Civic Center, along Avenue of the Fountains, and at Fountain Park. This collection of public art is valued at over $1,000,000 and includes works by internationally renowned artists.

Every first Saturday, volunteer docents will lead two tours and provide information about each work of art, the artist, and the inspiration behind the creation. The first tour, beginning at 9 a.m., will visit artwork along the Avenue of the Fountains and in Fountain Park. Each tour costs $5 and begins at the entrance to the Town of Fountain Hills Community Center. The second tour will begin at 10 a.m. and take place in the Sculpture Garden area. Registration is required for the tours.

Art lovers on the guided walk of this unique collection under the sun are advised to wear a hat, comfortable walking shoes, and bring water.
