Fire Hydrants are works of art in the Centerline District of historic downtown Glendale, AZ. 59 designs were selected after a call for artists received 836 submittals. 59 fire hydrants have been selected to represent the 59 square miles that Glendale services today. The repainting of the fire hydrants began in March by professional artists who have participated in Artwerks First Saturdays. Glendale, AZ is the first city in the Valley of the Sun to turn fire hydrants into public art.

The project was coordinated by Glendale's Economic Development Department in partnership with the Glendale Fire Department and Glendale Elementary and Glendale Union High school districts. The designs were submitted by students in kindergarten through 12th grade and were reviewed by a group of local artists and city employees.
