Brighton and Hove Snowdog Trail

in #art5 years ago


Snowdog In Front Of Adelaide Terrace, Hove


In 2016, a local charity, the Martlets Hospice staged a three-month art trail in Brighton & Hove featuring 44 giant Snowdog sculptures by local artists.

It was so much fun walking around the city and finding a new one around the next corner. This one was called Pebbles and was created by Joanna Martin.

Here you can see it standing on the prom close to the end of our road. The buildings in the background form the Regency Adelaide Crescent.

At the end of the trail the Snowdogs were auctioned off to raise money for Martlets. In total the 44 Snowdogs were sold for £337,900!

Isn't that a great way to raise money?

Last year they did a similar thing with snails which I posted about, although I never got around to posting the second set of pictures. They are still in draft! 😂

What a fun way to raise awareness. Cute little fellas. @steemimages has upvoted and resteemed three of your most recent posts

That is very cute Gillian. Our town did something like that years ago with horses years ago. Many are still around the city today. What a great way to bring awareness to everyone.

Yeah. I really enjoy the fact that you keep bumping into new ones as you move around the city @sunscape. It's great fun while they're there and then great the charity gets a very decent sum from them.

Such a great idea. Perhaps an offshoot of artists painting water-mains that no longer exist. Your stash of drafts sounds like mine Gillian. 😊
