A few days ago we had the chance to visit both our bull sculptures we painted for the Bulls in the City trail. This wonderful trail takes place now until the 14th of September and features 40 large bull sculptures as well as smaller calves dotted around the city.
We had the pleasure of painting two of these huge sculptures!
More about the trail: Teaming up with Wild in Art, the Bulls in the City is a fun interactive, vibrant art trail. Each Bull is painted by artists across the UK, with the smaller calves painted by community and school groups. The larger bulls will them be auctioned off to raise money for Birmingham Hospice.
