The fountain returned, with a fresh coat of paint, ready to splash the good folk of Cuba Mall once again.

The Fountain Dead
- WellUrban
- The Arts Festival is a time to showcase the best of Wellington to scores of influential visitors. So why is one of our most iconic public artworks, The Bucket Fountain, currently looking sad, lifeless and encrusted with grime?
