In 2019, this site was selected as the fourth location to be developed as part of the Community Well Enhancement Program.<br><br>Local artist Jeff Zischke saw the space as an opportunity to create a sculptural garden that tells the story of the past, present, future, and diversity of the community that has grown around, partly because of, the historical well. This space integrates large steel sculptures with indigenous flora, connected by a walking path that provides in of the sculptural elements.<br><br>To further enhance the experience, an <a href="https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/966cc54a73ca4c93a9a653b236aea02f" target="_blank">interactive story map</a> is available, providing historic context for the site, details about the design process, and insights from the artist.<br><br>On Wednesday, May 4, 2022, at 4 p.m., we invite the community to share in the dedication of Neighborhood Vista and to experience the space firsthand.<br><br> <p style="text-align:center;"> <br> </p> <p style="text-align:center;"> <span style="color:windowtext;font-size:10pt;background-color:window;"> <a target="_blank" href="/artssite/MediaAssets/WS156InviteEng.png" title=""><img src="/artssite/MediaAssets/WS156InviteEng.png" alt="Neighborhood Vista Dedication Invitation" style="margin:5px;width:500px;height:397px;" />​</a> <br> </span> </p> <p> <span style="color:windowtext;font-size:10pt;background-color:window;"> <br> </span> </p> </html></div>https://www.phoenix.gov/artsNewsarts-and-cultureNeighborhood Vista Sculptural GardenA+CArts, culture, water, dedicationJames Ritter602-309-7305602-262-6194james.ritter@phoenix.govhttps://www.phoenix.gov/newssite/Lists/MediaContact/Attachments/5/James_Ritter.jpgphxarts_culture
