Each pig installation includes a box of “Follow the Pig Trail” info sheets courtesy of the Fayetteville Advertising and Promotion Commission.

With more than a dozen PIGShibition sculptures now on display around town, we thought it was a good time to post a list and some photos of the pigs here on the Flyer.

For those unaware, PIGShibition is a fundraising and awareness effort led by the Ozark Literacy Council, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing basic literacy and language instruction for area residents.

Modeled after similar public art exhibits including CowParade, PIGShibition aims to place 25 six-foot-tall pigs all over Fayetteville.

The pigs are painted by local artists, sponsored by local businesses for $3,000 (Blue Ribbon) or $6,000 (Top Hog) and then placed somewhere in town. The Top Hog pigs will stay with their sponsors, and the Blue Ribbon pigs will be sold during the “Piggies go to Market” event inside the Fayetteville Town Center on March 14, 2013.

Fayetteville sculptor Mike Davis Gutierrez designed the original pig and Glynn Samuels, who owns G&D Fiberglass in Hindsville, supplied the fiberglass molds.
