Public
art in your town!
"I love your
website and keep track of all of the displays. This year
we (three couples) will be traveling to Albany (cats), Saugerties
(horses) and Windsor, CT (dogs). We plan trips each summer.
Two years ago we went to Saratoga, Catskill, Olean and then
on to Cleveland. That was a wonderful trip!" Joan Rasmussen
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. With more
than 275 public art projects under our belt, we have
the highest number of return and repeat customers. This
means that we also have many resources for you to
contact for additional advice as well as a long list of
references.
We would love to help you take your project from concept
to concrete. Give us a call at (312) 944-0700 to discuss
the event that's right for your town or organization!

what some of our clients have to say:
"Now
that our bears are out, more sponsors are calling us. They're
coming out of the woodwork!" Vicki Vitale, Project
Director, New Bern, NC
"We're
so thrilled to keep getting more sponsors, even after the
horses have been on display. Our project has just been phenomenally
received." Leslie Luther-Jeschke, Executive Director,

"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." Linda Overbaugh, Executive Director, Heart
of Catskill Association, Catskill NY Chamber of Commerce
"You
must know that the pigs were the turn around for the town
and you all were a big part of that miracle."
Susan Benedict, Project Coordinator, Brandon Artist Guild,
Brandon, VT

anticipate that this event will increase pedestrian traffic
for Scarsdale business owners, showcase local artists’
talent, and elevate the visibility of The Scarsdale Historical
Society and our mission.” Cindy Krossman, Executive
Director, Scarsdale Historical Society, Scarsdale, NY
"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." Virginia Thomas,
President, Todos Santos Business Assn., Concord, CA
"Our
project was unbelievably successful. It's the only community
event that has made any money." Bill Bohlman, Project
Chair, Safe Harbor Humane Society, Kenosha, WI

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!" John French, Past President, Granby
CT Chamber of Commerce

reliability, timeliness, service...Cowpainters is the best
there is. I wouldn't deal with anyone else." Anita

forms are the best ones out there!" Donna Brian,

enjoyed working with your forms and find they're very easy
to paint on, add sculptural pieces to and they're so lightweight,
I love them!" Cynthia Mulvaney, Artist, Catskill,
NY
