With our varied fleet of HIAB, flatbed and artic trucks, we are familiar with moving sculptures, statues, artifax and more unusual and abnormal loads – so when we were approached to be the haulage provider for a local charity event coming to Brighton and Hove – we leapt at the challenge!
It’s quite a task delivering and installing 45 giant dog sculptures – but one we couldn’t wait to get our teeth into…
Snowdogs by the Sea, an extraordinary public art trail, hit the streets of Brighton & Hove for 9 weeks from 24th September 2017.
The magical sculpture trail features around 45 giant Snowdogs, inspired by the much-loved animated short film, The Snowman™ and The Snowdog, based on the book by Raymond Briggs.
Each Snowdog is individually decorated by different artists and generously sponsored by local businesses. The trail is being organised by local charity, Martlets Hospice, in conjunction with Wild in Art, one of the UK’s leading creative producers of public art events.
At the end of the event each Snowdog will be auctioned to raise funds for the hospice.
Artists from the city, as well as further afield, have been selected by sponsors to create a unique identity and design for each Snowdog. Many artists have drawn inspiration from Brighton’s unique history, seafront location & iconic architecture.
Brighton resident & DJ Norman Cook, AKA Fatboy Slim, has commissioned well known street artist, Ryca to create his Snowdog, whilst crime author, Peter James, has a police themed Snowdog in a nod to his best selling, Detective Superintendent Roy Grace, series.
Details of all the events can be found at the website; www.snowdogsbythesea.com or follow Snowdogs on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram at @SnowdogsBTS #Brightonsnowdogs #Snowbrador_SD
Here are just a few photos from the installation evenings…
