How to submit a pig design
The Big Pig Gig is starting its Porkfolio. Forms are being distributed throughout the Tristate to artists who want to participate.
Artists living within a 100-mile radius of downtown Cincinnati are eligible to submit a design to decorate one of three styles of life-size fiberglass pigs, with or without wings. The swine will be supplied by Artworks.
Deadline is Jan. 3 for completed designs to be submitted to the pig jury for selection in the Artworks Porkfolio.
Sponsors (Artworks is hoping for at least 250) will then peruse the Porkfolio to select a pig design to sponsor.
Artists who are selected to decorate a pig will receive an honorarium of $1,000, including cost of materials. Pigs must be completed and delivered by April 28 and will be unveiled during the Flying Pig Marathon, May 14.
The pigs will be displayed throughout the city all summer and auctioned next November to benefit Artworks.
Participation forms are available at the Contemporary Arts Center, downtown; the Carnegie, Covington; Enjoy the Arts/Start, Over-the-Rhine; Joseph-Beth Booksellers, Norwood, and many other locations in Greater CincinnatiDayton, Columbus and Indianapolis.
For more information, contact Artworks, 1310 Pendleton St., Mail Box No. 14, Cincinnati 45210. Phone 333-0388.
