In 2009, on one of my many visits to Lima, Peru I first stumbled upon Cow Parade featured in Parque Kennedy in the Miraflores district.
I automatically felt connected to this exhibit because in 1999 my hometown of Chicago had a similar art event called Cows on Parade.
Obviously, the name has changed, however the artistic purpose has not.
Artists still decorate their cows in whatever style they chose and the cows remain integrated in the public realm for all people to view and enjoy.
