A Wild in Art event brought to you by The Kirkwood.
A Wild in Art event brought to you by The Kirkwood.
On Friday 2nd September 2022, towns and villages across Kirklees will brought to life for eight whole weeks by a pack of 67 dazzlingly decorated Snowdog sculptures, creating a spectacular event for our entire community to enjoy.
Based on The Snowman™ and The Snowdog, the classic animated story by Raymond Briggs, Snowdogs Support Life, Kirklees will bring the magic of the Snowdog character to life through an extraordinary public art trail.
A free event for all, Snowdogs Support Life, Kirklees will show off the very best creative talent from local, regional and national artists. Thirty uniquely designed Snowdogs, along with thirty mini sculptures, will be on display around Kirklees for visitors to discover and enjoy as part of a world class public arts event never seen before in West Yorkshire.
The Kirkwood are teaming up with event experts Wild in Art, who have been delivering high profile events across the globe for over ten years, to put on an event our whole community will be proud of.
Each large sculpture has been sponsored by a business and individually designed by an artist – either well-known or just starting out – from the Kirklees area or further afield. Schools from across Kirklees have also been getting creative, designing and decorating 37 Snowdog Pups which will also be joining the trail this Autumn!
Snowdogs Support Life, Kirklees will have a big impact across the whole region, with hundreds of thousands of people expected to join in the fun.
Our pack of Snowdogs will arrive on Friday 2nd September and will be on display until Monday 31st October. All money raised throughout the event will support The Kirkwood, who provide vital care for people affected by any life limiting illness across Kirklees, every step of the way.
