Subject:  Animal -- Dog -- Hound Ethnic -- Indian Literature Object Type:  Fountain Outdoor Sculpture -- Ohio -- Columbus Sculpture Owner:  Administered by City of Columbus, Recreation and Parks Department, 90 West Broad Street, Columbus, Ohio 43215 Located Battelle Riverfront Park, Marconi & Gay Streets, Columbus, Ohio Remarks:  See IAS files for related ephemera and the Columbus Dispatch (July 30, 1988) article, which gives details about the commissioning history, funding and subject content of the work. The hound is one of six animals created by Greaves to form part of the Children's Fountain, also called the Pickaweekee Children's Fountain. The surrounding sculptures, fountain, and park site were erected at a cost of $750,000 to $1,000,000 to commemorate the Quincentennial Celebration of Columbus' voyage to the Americas and the 100th anniversary of the Builders Exchange of Central Ohio (which represents 1,100 architectural, engineering, and construction companies). The idea for the work originated with the KidSpeak Advisory Committee, the Builders Exchange of Central Ohio and the Columbus Recreation & Parks Department. Greaves' design was chosen through a compeitiion sponsored by the Greater Columbus Arts Council. Among those providing funding, the Builders Exchange ($225,000), the Scioto Superfest Association ($5,000), volunteer groups of Childrens' Hospital, and the children of Columbus, who sponsored walk-a-thons and plaque sales.
