Happy Trivia Friday! This week, we're focusing on the iconic "Fearless Girl" statue in New York City. Here are some fascinating facts about this celebrated sculpture:
The "Fearless Girl" statue was originally installed in Wall Street, New York City. This bronze statue of a little girl was created by artist Kristen Visbal. It was unveiled in 2017 with the purpose of symbolizing gender diversity and equality.
The statue was commissioned by State Street Global Advisors, an asset management company. Initially, the "Fearless Girl" was placed in front of the famous Charging Bull statue, creating a striking visual dialogue between the two sculptures.
Standing 4 feet tall, the "Fearless Girl" is made of bronze. While it was initially intended to be in place for just one month, the statue's impact led to its extended display. It is currently located across from the New York Stock Exchange.
The "Fearless Girl" continues to inspire and provoke conversations about gender equality and the importance of representation in all fields.
