I posted yesterday about an idea to do a public art campaign to bring awareness to the importance of art in schools. I heard back from the company I contacted who have the fiberglass cows and other animals.
Following up with the public cow art project, I received an email back from the company Cowpainters. (They only give donations to their current clients, which makes sense...) They sent their price list and a lifesize cow is $1500 (plus freight) - a bit out of our budget I think, unless we can get sponsors ahead of time and then order.
But, they have smaller cows that are approx. 20high x34long x10wide which we could use instead. Those are $250. Price breaks at 10 quantity. This company is woman-owned and they are artists and work with many non-profits in doing these public art projects. They even provide info on how to set up the campaigns and guide you through it to make them successful. That's nice!
At this point we'd like to know if there is interest in this project. If there is enough interest (and interest means that there are people who are willing to help with the items listed in the original post). What will make this project successful, since it's a big one if we decide to do the public campaign, is if we have the persons willing to help with PR, and everything else.
So show your support by posting a comment with your thoughts and volunteer to help with something. Thanks!
