The Big Pig Gig
May 14 - October 31, 2000
The Big Pig Gig was a public art project sponsored by Artworks in celebration of Cincinnati's "porkopolis" heritage.
From the corners of downtown's busiest streets, to the most frequented parks, and even northern Kentucky,
the summer of 2000 found the pigs everywhere!  Let's join in the fun and take a look back...

This site is dedicated to to the hard work, wit and creativity of all the artists, with gratitude to the event sponsors and
volunteers without whose graciousness The Big Pig Gig would not have been possible.  And to the pigs themselves who
graced and entertained our Queen City with their presence all summer long.  Thank you for the smiles you put on our faces,
the joy you placed in our hearts, and the warm memories you leave behind.  I created this site because I love pigs.
