CowParade is the largest public art event in the world. It has begun in Chicago in 1999 and has traveled the world with the tradition of taking art out of the museum and onto the streets for enjoying people. Denver streets were transformed into a forum for creativity and innovation. 1000$ was the honorarium for a painted cow.
