THE BIG HOOT PUBLIC ART PROJECT
We created an owl for the Big Hoot public art event, we where asked to produce an owl for the Bircfield harriers based at the Alexander Stadium in Birmingham. Birchfield Harriers is the UK's premier athletics club and has been represented at every summer Olympics bar one since 1908.
The Big Hoot captured the imagination of everyone in Birmingham and beyond, it was the largest public art event delivered by Wild in Art in partnership with Birmingham Children’s Hospital. It featured 89 large sculptures and over 120 smaller owlets, all of which have brought to life the talent and creativity of regional artists, schools and community groups.The Big Hoot owls went under the hammer at The Big Hoot auction sponsored by Vodafone and they where thrilled to have smashed their target by raising the incredible sum of £508,035!
In addition to the auction our owl 'Fleet and free' raised £7,800 with proceeds going to Birchfield Harriers.
