Dear Friends:
Dear Friends and Neighbors:
In 1994, Stamford Downtown presented a sculpture exhibit dedicated to
recognizing art as a catalyst for public education, enjoyment and enrichment.
This outdoor art program, Art in Public Places, is currently in its 17th year and
has become one of the City’s premier cultural events taking place throughout
the Downtown and in the Stamford Town Center. Since its inception, Art in
Public Places has grown in size and prominence, providing major works of
outdoor sculpture for all to enjoy.
This year’s exhibit It’s Reigning Cats & Dogs, presented by the Stamford
Downtown Special Services District, features 40 oversized, originally designed
and painted fiberglass cats and dogs on display on the streets and parks of
Stamford Downtown. It demonstrates the extraordinary commitment to art
that is part of the Stamford culture. Thanks to the talent of 32 artists who
have magically transformed white fiberglass animal forms into works of art
full of creativity and humor and the generosity of patrons of the arts such as
Greenfield Partners, Malkin Properties, SAC Capital Advisors, Seaboard
Properties, Stamford Marriott Hotel & Spa and numerous other companies,
this annual public art exhibit will delight Stamfordites and visitors throughout
the summer.
This is a summer event you won’t want to miss. Take some time to enjoy the
city and see the sculptures in Stamford Downtown. The exhibit will be on
display from June through the end of August. It’s a great way to spend a day
with family and friends in the Downtown, and see what Stamford has to offer.
Sincerely,
It is with great pleasure that we present the 17th annual sculpture
exhibit, It’s Reigning Cats & Dogs. The exhibit includes 40 whimsical,
oversized fiberglass cats and dogs created by 32 artists. These adorable
pets will be on display throughout the downtown and at the Stamford Town
Center from June through August.
Upon conclusion of It’s Reigning Cats & Dogs, the pets will be refurbished
and readied for an auction, a portion of the proceeds will benefit Friends of
Felines, OPIN and the Stamford Dog Park. In auctions held for CowParade
2000, Art-O-Mobiles 2001 and Stamford Safari 2003, a combined total of over
$400,000 was raised for area charities.
This commemorative catalogue is a tribute to an extraordinary collaborative
process which makes this special event possible. Our sincere appreciation goes
to Mayor Michael Pavia and the city of Stamford’s Operational Team whose
support of Downtown events truly makes Stamford unique. Many generous
participating sponsors are directly responsible for ensuring that our Public Art
program flourishes. They include: The Advocate, Bildner Capital Corp., Bobby

Management Co., Inc., Grade A ShopRite, Greenfield Partners, Happyhaha
