Location: Dayton Elementary School, Dayton
ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Artist Carlos Vigil created the painting Pig with Bathtub to celebrate an animal that we often take for granted. He states, "The actions and characteristics of pigs sometimes resemble those of humans. They are very intelligent. They are good-humored and shy… If you receive even a little joy from looking at this pig then my purpose is accomplished."
This artwork was acquired for the State Art Collection in partnership with Grand Coulee Dam School District.
