Thanks to our incredible community, the first stage of the Cow Art Festival 2025 was a joyful celebration of creativity, culture, and connection in the heart of the Mighty Waikato.

🌟Your generosity empowers us to continue fostering a vibrant, inclusive, and welcoming farming district—where art, culture, and tourism flourish side by side.

🌟 Join the Morrinsville Gallery family and help shape the future of our region through creativity, collaboration, and community spirit.
      
Over sixteen talented local artists have been painting our beloved cow live, guided by curator Elizabeth Borrows and supported by our dedicated Fundraising Committee. This vibrant journey will culminate in the grand unveiling of our newly renovated cow—currently known as "Mooloo"—this October.

"Mooloo" will debut a stunning new design and a brand-new name, continuing her proud legacy as part of one of New Zealand’s most dynamic street art projects: the Morrinsville Herd of Cows.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to Colin and Sharyn Fabish from Professionals Real Estate Morrinsville for generously transferring ownership of "Mooloo" to the gallery.

We also celebrate the champions of well-being and connection across the Waikato. Our deepest gratitude goes to the Seales Family Trust, Saz Kebab, Bayleys Real Estate, House of Travel, Resene, Health and Safety Connexions, Power Farming for their generous support of the Cow Art Festival 2025.

💛 A special note of appreciation to all the artists, volunteers, and financial supporters who have made this festival possible. Your passion and commitment continue to inspire.
