Bell'e Art		Print This Page Email This Page

With the support of the Scottsdale Mall, 7373 E. 2nd Street, the Scottsdale Public Art program is giving artists an opportunity to alter and enhance a key entry point to the Scottsdale Civic Center Mall. Using a variety of materials the art installations will create unexpected experiences, a reason to linger and to return. Starting a week after Labor Day 2008 and running though June 2010, five artists will engage visitors and residents with their artwork.

Current Installation:

Bubble Fountain

Melissa McGurgan &
Marco Rosichelli
May 1, 2009-June 30, 2009

When a passerby walks through the bell tower scented bubbles (alternating citrus, mint, salt water) will float down creating a fun and refreshing atmosphere to greet the onset of summer. Mellisa McGurgan and Marco Rosichelli recognize the appeal and fascination of water to the desert dweller. Water cools, cleanses, and entertains. This fountain without flowing water will invoke a universal playground for the senses.
