CowParade Comes to San Diego
1 January 2009
San Diego 
The CowParade is an international public art phenomena that has made it’s way to major cities across the globe. The catch here is that these cows are fiberglass sculptures that are decorated by local artists and displayed in public venues including city centers, transport hubs, prominent thoroughfares, and parks. They often feature artwork and designs specific to local culture, as well as city life and other relevant themes. These urban displays typically last several months. In the end, the cows are auctioned off with proceeds then being donated to charity.
The concept of a “CowParade" has its foundation in Zurich Switzerland. This exhibit in 1998 was called "Land in Sicht" translated as "Countryside in view"). The first international exhibit took place in Chicago in 1999. Now after several iterations including Lions, Tigers and Bears (oh my!) in cities where those animals reflected local mascots, San Diego is the green pasture for these artfully bovine creatures. From January to March of 2009, watch your step and bring your cameras as they pop up with designs by artists from San Diego and Tijuana.
Once again these cows are here to do good, Rady Children’s Hospital, the Zoological Society of San Diego and the Balboa Park Cultural Partnership will share in the proceeds from CowParade San Diego’s charitable auction.
