Gracie - Calgary, Alberta, Canada - Figurative Public Sculpture on Waymarking.com

In 2000, Calgary's Udderly Art event partnered artists, donors, and charities to paint and display over a hundred fibreglass cows to promote art and raise $2.1 million for various causes. “Gracie” was painted with bright yellow flowers, a butterfly and a picket fence, to raise funds for the Grace Women’s Health Centre. She is now (2023) grazing at the Foothills Medical Centre, inside her small picket fence on the south side of the Women’s Health Centre (WHC).
