Huge owls will be hospice public art summer fundraiser in Chichester and Arundel
- 11 months ago
A collection of 30 large 3D owl sculptures will come to nest in and around Chichester and Arundel for summer 2024, providing a free, fun, family-friendly trail for residents and visitors to enjoy – in aid of Chestnut Tree House.
The public art event will be delivered by Chestnut Tree House and Wild in Art. Exact dates and sculpture locations are still to be confirmed, but in July 2024, the owls will appear – each one individually designed by an artist, and sponsored by a business, group or individual. They will be on display for eight weeks, before gathering in one location for a special farewell event in September 2024, followed by a charity auction where the sculptures will be sold to raise money for Chestnut Tree House children’s hospice. In addition to bringing businesses and community groups together as sculpture sponsors, The Big Hoot art trail will also encourage schools and other education establishments to get involved in a city-wide Learner Programme.
