The world’s most famous public art event has finished grazing in the Margaret River region after four incredi-bull months!
It is a free event for art, charity and fun!
As part of this event 77 talented artists/art groups transformed life-sized fibreglass cows into ‘moo’ving’ pieces of art. The cows grazed on public display at iconic attractions and local businesses throughout the Margaret River region from March through to 27th June 2010.
While CowParade has been held in over 50 cities around the world including ‘udderly’ fabulous destinations such as Paris, Tokyo, London and New York, each event is unique. The cow sculptures do not change from event to event, but local artists are challenged by the works of previous CowParade artists and inspired by their own cultural contexts and personal vision of what a cow should look like.
Margaret River is renowned as a mecca for talented artists and creative people which is why CowParade Margaret River 2010 was very moo’ving! At the end of the event the cows were auctioned off to raise money for charities and regional projects.
