Irrigators
Artist: Deb Gessner
Bronze
Completed: 1987

The Irrigators celebrates Glendale’s roots in agriculture and pays tribute to the importance of irrigation in the development of the community. Originally sited in a water feature, the setting for the artwork was refurbished in 2004 to be waterless. The artwork now has a sound system that plays the sound of running water.

Deb Gessner currently lives and works in Arizona. In 1990, The Irrigators received the Valley Forward Association Art in Public Places Award.
