CowParade Coming To Shanghai

We are pleased to announce the launch of CowParade Shanghai 2014-2015 beginning with a kick-off event scheduled for late September 2014. The kick-off event will feature the introduction of the first official artists and cows of CowParade Shanghai. It is expected that over 500 cows will be created as part of this historic, 80th CowParade event.  The distinctive charm and spirit of Shanghai promises to  bring a unique vitality to this CowParade event.

Organizers of Cowparade Shanghai,  Shanghai Media Group and Halcyon Gallery, will mobilize hundreds of artists and celebrities in China to create one-of-a-kind cow designs and artworks. They will also collect designs from the public. One of the main goal’s of the event is ‘Promoting Art Education for Children’.  A series of art lessons for children is planned and donations will be made to various philanthropic organizations when the cows are sold at auction at the conclusion of the event.

“In major cities, especially super-sized metropolises like Shanghai, people are living at a fast pace,” said Wu Xiaofeng, deputy manager of SMG LIVE, “Public art events such as CowParade are much needed in these cities in order to bring people joy and relaxation.”
