Art in the Park: Galloping Goats
Galloping Goat Project - Update (July 20, 2024)
June 30, 2024 - This project aims to highlight the talents of Corrales artists and local businesses, fostering a cultural tourism attraction that celebrates the area’s cultural diversity. CSA hopes to engage the business community and promote arts and small businesses in the Village. Galloping goats will be a spinoff of the public art event “A Trail of Painted Ponies.” Ten Metal goats will be given to the following businesses to be decorated with hopes that people will see all the different goats. To facilitate this, brochures will be printed for all the business to give out to patrons directing them to all the locations exhibiting a galloping goat. Participating businesses are The Village Mercantile, Desert Bird Mercantile, The Farm Stand, Pam’s Arty Accents, Corrales Bosque Gallery, Corrales Fine Arts Gallery, Beth Waldron Studio, Ex Novo, Moon and Dove Gallery and Sage Valley Ceramics. Kick off of the project will be at Art in the Park on July 13th. The decorated goats will be on display at the different businesses until the Art in the Park in the Park on Oct 12th. Goats will be auctioned off online starting in Sept. and the money raised will go to Corrales Mainstreet.
Introducing "Art in the Parks: Galloping Goats," an exciting public art initiative inspired by the success of "A Trail of Painted Ponies." This project will commission artists Justin and Pat Kirby to create ten 3D metal goats. These goats will be distributed to ten businesses along Corrales Mainstreet, with each business receiving $100 for decoration supplies. CSA can assist businesses in finding member artists to collaborate on the project. The decorated goats will be prominently displayed outside these businesses from July through October, serving as both an art installation and a promotional tool. Afterward, the goats will be auctioned off, with the proceeds benefiting Mainstreet.
Come support the local artists and this fun project! July 13 from 9am - 3pm at the La Entrada Park in Corrales NM
