The designs are reviewed by a panel of experts and other arts and community organizations to ensure that the designs conform to the Guidelines set forth in the artist application.
Accepted designs become part of the official portfolio for selection by sponsors.
The artists whose designs are selected by our sponsors receive an honorarium once the work is complete and in conformance with their design proposal. Anyone may become part of CowParade by sponsoring a cow. Sponsorship fees per cow vary from city to city. Even after a CowParade opens, there are still opportunities for Sponsorship. You can select from hundreds of designs that artists have submitted or commission an artist of your own.
