The cows are painted by local artists from the amateur and unknown to the professional and famous. Artists are notified of the event through an “Open Call for Artists” process. This process consists of targeted mailing to top artists, newspaper and television advertisements, and through cooperation with local arts organizations.
The cow is a universally loved animal. The cow represents different things to different people around the world - it's sacred, it's historic, it connects us to our past - but the common feeling is one of affection. There is something magical about the cow that transcends the whole world. She just makes everyone smile.
