Loose Park Wall Fountain-male |
A competition was held to select the sculptor for this wall fountain, and Jeannette Keline of Kansas City was awarded the commission. She created a larger-than-life-size figures of a man of a woman, which were placed in semicircular niches on the south wall of a service building. They were unveiled during the 1942 Rose Day celebration. The kneeling figures each hold bowls from which water tricked into keep retrain basins at the base of the niches. The water elements were eliminated in 1946.

Mardi Gras Jazz Fountain |
Mardi Gras Jazz Fountain -
Presented to Kansas City June 28th, 2001
Drawing on the inspiration of many jazz greats throughout history, the five larger than life figures, a trumpeter, a clarinet player, a sax player, a trombone player and a formidable stand-up bassist, comprise a lively and soulful band. These sculptures were first created as a small Marquette, to help decide the player's positions and expression. The bodies were then carved from foam, while the heads were sculpted in a water-based clay. The final forms were coated with a fiberglass polyester resin for strength and painted to a high bronze patina. These one of a kind figures capture the raw excitement and subtle grace that is jazz music.
The centerpiece of the expansion is a magnificent sculpture and fountain created by Oakland, California sculpture Chiodo Themed Creations. The fountain showcases five jazz musician sculptures each standing approximately 10 feet tall. Italian marble floors and brilliant chandeliers surround the fountain and are found throughout the entire pavilion area.
