Junior Snailspace Art Trail launch at Jubilee Library- Snailed it !

Snailspace Brighton is a vibrant and exciting, FREE, public art event in Brighton & Hove. Admire 50 giant painted Snail sculptures and over 50 Junior Snails as you explore our great city at a snail’s pace.

Following on from the hugely successful Snowdogs by the Sea art trail in 2016, Martlets, has once again teamed up with Wild in Art to deliver a mass participation sculpture trail that is great fun for families, artists, and businesses, all whilst raising vital funds for a local charity.

The sculptures can be found throughout Brighton & Hove, highlighting our city’s historical landmarks, architecture and creativity in our vibrant community.

High Quality Visitors – Festival Highlights – Artists Open Houses 2018

What a sociable month May was – I had so many lovely conversations with people that it’s going to take a while to remember the people that came to visit my open house so I’m going to make a little list quickly.

Those who made it to the trail’s ‘outpost’ had dedication and conviction. They had made the effort, as it were. Thank you all for coming – I hope some of you might be reading this 😉

Here’s some photos of a few moments I managed to capture but I’m gonna set a photo booth next year as I would love to have portrayed or made portraits even, of the people that came. (Welcome to come back and take part – new project) . I kept many people chatting for up to an hour and had a steady flow of people that gave me time to have some really decent conversations. A thoroughly enjoyable experience and far more relaxed ‘doing it from home’ … (draft)
