The title of our blog explains that we used to live in Chicago. Back in 1999, Chicago was the first city in the United States that was allowed to have an art exhibit called "Cows On Parade", the idea actually originated in Switzerland.
Artists in Chicago were given a "Cow" form; some were Bulls, some were Cows, standing, sitting, etc.
Each artist was given free reign to paint /decorate the form anyway they wanted, and the sculptures were placed all over the city. A few were even suspended over the Chicago River Bridges.
It was an amazing and fun thing for the city.
When we heard about the Hummingbird display at Otorongo Plaza we wanted to see it, it reminded us of the Cows on Parade theme.
What a great exhibit.
We know other people have posted pics on their blogs about the Hummingbird Exhibit, and we really enjoyed seeing the pictures that have been posted.
Today is the last day of the exhibit, so we thought we would share our pictures.
Some of the artists put as much thought into the artwork of the pedestals as they the did on the actual hummingbird!!

It was a really nice exhibit, and we are so happy to live in a city that is devoted to the arts.
Cuenca, gotta love it!!
