Public
art in your town!
Looking
for ways to heighten awareness of your organization's mission
while generating much-needed program funds? Public art projects
are the result of community partnerships that bring project
organizers, artists, sponsors, local businesses and social
groups together toward the common goal of enriching their
community. These dazzling art-on-the-street projects turn
downtown business districts into neighborhoods and bring
joy into the hearts of onlookers. Everyone benefits from
these whimsical, amusing and unexpected sculptures - increased
tourism boosts revenue for local governments and merchants;
local artists enjoy greater recognition of their work; sponsors
obtain goodwill from their support; and project organizers
and local charities raise additional funds for their good
works.
Cowpainters
is the only woman owned and operated studio dedicated to
public art projects. Our experts will custom design a form
for you that reflects the history, wildlife or principal
industry of your community's region or symbolizes your organization's
main mission. Or, we have more than 350 current images from
which to choose. We also provide consultative assistance
and essential technical support for your artists. And with
more than 200 public art projects under our belt, we have
many resources for you to contact for additional advice.
We would love to help you take your project from concept
to concrete. Give us a call at (312) 666-6257 to discuss
the event that's right for your town or organization!
Hear
what some of our clients have to say:
"I
wanted to drop you a note to say I'm on my fourth project
using your forms and I still think you're the best! The
quality is excellent...which makes my job so much easier."
Local
Artist, Forsyth Humane Society, Winston-Salem, NC
"Our
project has really taken on a life of its own. The forms
are just great and we're already thinking about what image
to use for next year's project!" President, Board of
Directors, Todos Santos Business Association, concord, CA
"This was by far the most
successful project we have ever undertaken. Literally thousands
of people visited Catskill during the summer from Memorial
Day to Labor Day. The project gave the residents of the
town a reason to be proud of Catskill once again and we
raised at least triple the anticipated income. Needless
to say we are doing the cats once again next year."
Executive Director, Heart of Catskill Association, Catskill
NY Chamber of Commerce
"Our project
was unbelievably successful. It's the only community event
that has made any money." Project Chair, Safe Harbor
Humane Society, Kenosha, WI
"Our project was successful
beyond our wildest dreams. We exceeded all of our goals,
including a phenomenal increase in the number of people
who visited our city -- in the tens of thousands!"
Executive Director, Granby CT Chamber of Commerce
"Our public art
project was like vitamins for the community, restoring a
sense of pride and enthusiasm that continues to this day."
Mayor, Belzoni, MS
"It is not often
that one is able to be part of a project that excites and
enlivens a town, pays homage to its agricultural roots and
rural character, and provides vital support to the children
and youth of its community." Executive Director, Boys
and Girls Club of Healdsburg, Healdsburg, CA
"For the first
time in as long as I can remember, I couldn't find a parking
spot on the street because of all the people who have come
downtown to see our frogs!" Local Business Owner, Grosse
Pointe, MI
