elements identified within the Natural Area for HARP Phase I I C, Element No. 4, Major Art
Node Water Feature. Additionally, the plans for it have been reviewed and approved by
appropriate city staff and the staff of the Board of Water Works. It is a visually stimulating
trio of sculptures, two of which will interact by shooting water at each other at scheduled
times throughout the day. The third sculpture will simultaneously project a shower of water
upward.
"Summer Showers" is made possible through the efforts of the HARP Foundation and
DD Marketing, who procured funding for the project via the generosity of three donor
entities; Mr. And Mrs. Jerome Crane, Mr. And Mrs. Mahlon T. White and the estate of Ms.
Clementine Cardillo and Ms io. This includes the cost for the three George
