I wrote earlier about the incredible larger-than-life fiberglass peacocks painted by local artists and sponsored by local businesses that were unveiled at the Mayfair last month. EWM partnered with Casa Valentina to host one of the birds, and “Valentina” arrived at our office on Thursday morning!
The Coconut Grove Peacock Tour is the brainchild of Heather Bettner shown in the picture above, a long-time Grove resident, and is fashioned after the Chicago Cows and the Miami Beach Flamingos. The idea is to create a unique interactive public art exhibit, drawing people to the area and increasing revenues for every type of local business.
After being on display for 6 months the peacocks will be auctioned, with all proceeds benefitting local non-profit organizations and charities.
To see each of the Peacocks and take the tour yourself, follow the map embedded below. It’s really worth the little bit of effort!
