Mary McCall from Northern Ireland Hospice and artist Dawn Crothers join us in the studio to talk about the “elephant-astic” launch of Elmer’s Big Belfast Trail. A herd of “elephant-astic” sculptures add a splash of colour and fun to Belfast, by popping up in iconic locations, landmarks and open spaces throughout the city centre.
The free, family-friendly art trail runs for ten weeks, until August 31st, and features over seventy uniquely decorated sculptures designed by local or international artists, local schools and community groups. Each sculpture is a different take on David McKee’s popular children’s character Elmer the Patchwork Elephant.
