How did the 11fountains come into existence?

11fountains is an international art project for Leeuwarden-Fryslân 2018. The plan for top art in the eleven Frisian cities was part of the pitch that led to Leeuwarden becoming the Cultural Capital of Europe. The fountains were conceived and curated by artistic director Anna Tilroe, and each has its own story. Even without water (during the winter months), the fountains offer an artistic experience, making Friesland the largest sculpture garden in Europe.
