Cow Parade art project returning to San Antonio after more than 20 years

The public art project that planted brightly painted cow sculptures across San Antonio in the early 2000s is about to stampede back into town. Next year, the Alamo City will participate in national fundraising art event CowParade for the first time since 2003, according to officials with Christus Health. Created in 1999, CowParade bills itself as the largest public art show in the world, and it draws more than 100 participating cities annually. Christus Health plans to exhibit 75 life-size fiberglass cows for the exhibition, all painted by local artists.
