Reckson and the Cappelli Organization presents OINK! in Stamford Downtown, a whimsical outdoor sculpture exhibit will transform the downtown with colorfully decorated pigs this summer. Stamford Downtown has installed 26 fiberglass pigs, that have been originally designed and painted by 24 local and regional artists. The pigs will be on display for enjoyment of thousands of area residents and visitors through September 2025.
OINK! in Stamford Downtown, is the 12th exhibit of its kind and the 32nd annual sculpture exhibit produced by the Stamford Downtown Special Service District, an organization responsible for managing and promoting Stamford Downtown as the region's destination for dining, entertainment, retail, housing and education.
Stamford Downtown assembled some of the region’s most talented artists to create works of art. Each pig is sponsored by a business or organization. After the summer-long exhibit, the sculptures will be rounded up and refurbished for an auction.
