The Roadrunner Fountain: Coming Soon!

Keep your eyes open for this beauty!  The sculpture was donated to the Campus and was carved from Tennessee pink marble. It will stand 63” and is about 48” in diameter. The sculpture was commissioned for a Frank Lloyd Wright house in Paradise Valley, called “The Pottery House.”  That Frank Lloyd Wright house has since been demolished.  (Another “Pottery House” of the same design by Wright can be seen in Santa Fe.)   http://www.zillow.com/blog/house-of-the-week-frank-lloyd-wrights-pottery-house-103031/

The 76” colored concrete base for the fountain will be installed towards the end of January, first of february.  The location of the fountain will be on the west side of the Central Park Mall near CPW Apts. 1277 and 1275.  The sculpture itself will be installed February 21 through the 28th. The installation funds were donated.

The sculptor is Fred Bendheim. Fred lives in new York City now, but will be here doing the installation himself.  Fred currently has a water themed art show on display in New York through the month of February.  http://www.examiner.com/article/artist-spotlight-fred-bendheim

The sculpture was donated by the Bendheim family.  Ronnie Bendheim also donated the Waddell sculpture (the revealing gal sculpture on the east side of North Plaza).  Ronnie Bendheim is a life-long friend of Cecilia “CC” Roulston in South Plaza.  Fred is a childhood friend of Scott Mardian (Administration). 

Author Info: Beatitudes Campus

At the foundation of Beatitudes Campus is the vision of Church of the Beatitudes pastors and congregation members to create a better alternative for older adults than the nursing homes of the early 1960s. The type of community they imagined was the first of its kind in Arizona. Beatitudes Campus is proud to continue the legacy of our founders, by being a leader in the field of aging services for over 50 years.
