Create...
An original art design on a large, crafted aluminum or small steel butterfly.

Inspire... Your butterfly will be on display to the public in Fountain Hills at various sponsor locations prior to the Flutter at the Fountain 2020 Social and Auction Gala.

Empower... Proceeds from the butterflies will benefit various non-profits in Fountain Hills and
surrounding communities.

Flutter at the Fountain will seek to find 30 artists willing to contribute to making dreams real by transforming blank, aluminum alloy sculptures into original works of art. Each transformed sculpture will be displayed in
Fountain Hills during the month of October and then become part of an auction in November at the Flutter at the Fountain 2021 Social and Auction Gala with proceeds benefiting various non-profit entities in Fountain Hills and surrounding communities.
