X A V I ™ Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Decorated dog sculptures have turned Canary Wharf into Canary Woof with the opening of a canine public art trail. Paws on the Wharf, organised by Guide Dogs and Wild in Art, showcases the work of 25 artists and aims to raise awareness about sight loss. Sixteen of the sculptures are in Canary Wharf itself and nine in the wider Tower Hamlets borough. The pieces will be auctioned after the exhibition closes with the proceeds going to the charity. The decorated dogs include Bark to the Future, based around old science fiction tin toys from the 1950s; Dog Stars - a tribute to service dogs of the past; and Jurassic Bark - a scaly horned dino-dog. The trail is step-free and can be accessed through the NaviLens App and NaviLens Codes - technology to enable people with sight loss to visit the trail independently. Guide Dogs will also be offering sighted guide tours on specific days for people who would rather have support navigating the trail. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-london-68637728 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
