Pigs in the City: Take 3

One of the most unique and entertaining public art displays in the state has been the city of Lexington's "Pigs in the City" project, which gives local and regional artists the chance to paint hogs to place all around town. (Lexington does, of course, have a style of barbecue named for it, after all.)

The third version of "Pigs" will be unveiled on Tuesday, May 23 at a fashion show-like presentation.


"You'd think we would run out of creative pig ideas, but it's not happened yet," Uptown Lexington Inc. President Greg Turlington told the Dispatch.

According to the paper, this year's litter includes Pigabunga, a pig surfer dude designed by Jan Fritts for M&L Motor Co., and SunSwine Sally, a bikini-clad sow created by Andrea Campbell for Breeden Insurance.
