Subject:
Request
for
a
grant
for
the
project
“Montreal,
City
of
fountain”
Dear
Ms.
Rosas
MS
City
Planning
Consortium
is
respectfully
requesting
a
grant
of
$50,000
for
the
project
“Montreal,
city
of
fountain”.
“Montreal,
City
of
fountain”
is
an
ambitious
project
that
mixes
city
planning,
education
and
arts.
In
order
to
beautifying
the
city,
we
plane
to
install
or
to
renovate
40
fountains
across
the
city.
We
will
gather
the
best
local
professionals:
designers,
manufacturers
and
restorers.
In
collaboration
with
the
McGill
Department
of
History,
the
History
of
the
foundation
of
Montreal
will
be
told
through
the
path
of
those
40
fountains.
“Montreal,
City
of
fountain”
is
also
an
artistic
project.
A
new
talent
contest
implying
several
artistic
disciplines
will
be
held.
The
winners
in
each
discipline
will
perform
and/or
exhibit
during
the
whole
summer
2015
in
the
new
converted
spaces.
A
great
outdoor
opening
will
take
place
in
Parc
Maisonneuve
in
partnership
with
The
Montreal
Symphonic
Orchestra
for
a
water
and
music
show:
the
fountains
will
be
choreographed
to
music.
The
whole
event
will
be
recorded
and
videotaped
by
CBC.
MS
City
Planning
consortium
has
already
shown
its
expertise,
especially
with
its
most
recent
project
in
Las
Vegas.
“Fountains
and
live
music”,
in
partnership
with
the
Nevada
touristic
office
and
the
Symphonic
Orchestra
Foundation,
was
a
great
success
and
gave
a
new
face
to
the
streets
of
Las
Vegas
(photos

www.lasvegasfountains.com).
The
event
was
a
totally
new
experience
of
water
music
show
(2011
recording
show

2.
We
really
think
that
Montreal
needs
to
beautify
its
parks
and
streets
and
that
MS
City
Planning
Consortium
is
the
best
structure
to
manage
such
an
ambitious
project.
Thank
you
for
your
consideration
of
our
request.
Sincerely,
Marianne
Laugel
