Fountain: the source or origin of anything is a public art project created for The Wall, CBC Plaza, a Vancouver Heritage Foundation public art initiative.

The Wall is made possible through a partnership between Vancouver Heritage Foundation, JJ Bean Coffee Roasters and CBC Radio-Canada. The 2014 project has received additional support from this year’s participating arts organization, Centre A. We would especially like acknowledge Centre A’s generosity in matching the Indiegogo funds for this web project. Click on the links below to learn more about this collaborative endeavour.
