Horses on Parade | Rochester, N.Y. -June, 2001

Reflectorius Maximus (by Cathy Calderwood) and Rochester Falls

150 colorful, creative and humorous life-size horses are currently displayed throughout the greater Rochester area. "Horses on Parade" is a community art project. Businesses sponsor the horses - they purchase the unpainted horse forms and commission an artist to paint it. The finished horses are installed throughout the city and are later sold as fund-raiser. Word has it that the businesses become quite attached to their animals and frequently opt to purchase them.

This fundraising concept started in Zurich, Switzerland and has spread throughout the world. Cows, chickens, pigs and mermaids are examples of some of the themes.

The author of Color Matters attended the meeting of the International Color Association in Rochester, N.Y. in June of 2001. Nine of these colorful horses are presented in this section.
