Pilot Pumphouse Project

Jul 5, 2022 | Pilot Pumphouse Project

The Pilot Pump House Pilot Program is an outreach to artists locally and regionally and will help to bring recognition to Fountain Hills with a fresh artistic approach annually to our Fountain Park giving visitors a reason to return.

The Public Art Committee is proposing to create an outdoor art gallery exhibit for the pump house wall at Fountain Park. The committee has created a regional call to artists for 2D art to be transposed onto 4’h x 8’w (horizontal) Dibond brushed metal panels. Seven finalists have been chosen.

The theme for this year is “Legends and Lore of the Valley of the Sun.” Each panel will have the artist’s name, title of the piece, a small descriptive paragraph and a sponsor of the panel.

This project would be a pilot program for a one-year period and funded through a program of financial sponsorship raised from local individuals and businesses through the FHCCA Public Art Committee. Sponsorship for each panel is $1000.

We are seeking 5 more additional sponsors.

We hope in future versions of this project, we may have the opportunity to raise funds beyond the cost of the project and be able to direct those funds back into art education for our local youth, one of the areas of our public education that desperately needs support.

ACADEMY PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS

The Fountain Hills Leadership Academy is a rewarding program that extends well beyond the initial weekly class sessions and progressively leads to becoming a part of the growing Alumni Community. Each year, the Academy accepts only 15-20 candidates. Throughout the program, each participant is expected to be fully committed and fulfill the following requirements:

Actively participate in the initial 8-week course. Classes are held once per week, generally 8 am to 1 pm, but may go longer. With the exception of illness or family emergency, absences are generally not permitted.
Conceptualize, research and present a Project that identifies a solution for an area of our community that may be improved. Projects may be done individually or as teams with fellow program participants.
Volunteer to assist—as a team—with the annual Poinsettia Tree project, an FHCCA fundraiser, including promotion, sales, resource coordination and project execution.
Lead, plan and carry out —from beginning to end—the entire Leadership Academy experience for the next year’s incoming class. This will include a series of planning meetings, starting shortly after graduation and continuing through November of the following year. All class members will automatically become a part of the Planning Committee responsible for overseeing and coordinating the next Leadership class including:
- Establishing the weekly class schedule
- Proctoring class sessions
- Coordinating speakers
- Engaging sponsors
- Managing the entire program experience from the candidate’s application to graduation
Maintain an annual membership in the Fountain Hills Cultural and Civic Association (FHCCA) also known as iLoveFountainHIlls.org

Once accepted in the program, you will receive a welcome letter from the Leadership Academy Board of Directors. To register for the Leadership Academy program, payment of a non-refundable $250 tuition fee is required. The fee covers an initial year of membership in FHCCA, the Leadership Academy program materials and also partially offsets other class related costs.
