The Parade of Pigs 4 Kids is a fundraiser sponsored by Artcentric Studio to help support Benicia pub
Each year talented, local artists create unique works-of-art from a dozen ceramic piggy banks donated by ARTCENTRIC Studio (733 First Street, Benicia) to raise funds for Benicia public schools through the Benicia Education Foundation. They are placed around the community from Feb-April then auctioned off at the BEF Spring Celebration in May. Everyone is welcome to apply to create a pig as well as bid on a pig at the Spring Celebration.
