CowParade in Fields Corner Dorchester Illustration 2623
Two life-size fiberglass cows are on display at Fields Corner’s Memorial Square at the intersection of Dorchester Avenue and Adams Street.
They are part of a herd of 75 life-size cows displayed across the city. Each cow was painted by a New England artist and will be sold to benefit the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute to mark the 75th anniversary of the Jimmy Fund.
One of the cows in Fields Corner, Sally Sunset, (on the left in the photo) has been bought. The other one called Spreading Love is still available. The cows will remain in Dorchester until Sept. 4.
CowParades are public art events that serve as fundraisers for local nonprofit organizations. They have been held since 1999 in 80 countries, more than 6,000 cows have been created.
