Bristol’s 2023 public arts trail, Unicornfest, in aid of Leukaemia Care, brings its life-sized unicorns to The Galleries in Broadmead to start painting their unicorns.
A collaboration that sees the creative and business communities come together Sponsors and artists were matched during a Valentine’s Day event where they had the chance to collaborate on their designs and paintings of choice.
While the artists get going on their designs, members of the public will also now have the opportunity to secure a first peek at the artists in action.
Leukaemia Care CEO, Zack Pemberton-Whiteley comments: “Given the success of our Valentine’s Day matchmaking event, we are incredibly excited to see what the unicorns will look like! Please do come and visit us at The Galleries to take a closer look at the artists in action painting their unicorns.”
About Unicornfest
Unicornfest will see a herd of life-sized unicorns designed by Bristol artists from Inkie to Silent Hobo to Holy Moly, placed in over 59 prominent destinations across Bristol and beyond between July and September this summer.
Part of the 650 Years of Bristol celebrations running this year, the nine-week trail will end with an auction of the ‘blessing’ (that’s a group of unicorns!) which will raise funds for Leukaemia Care.
41 sponsors and partners have now been secured, with IKEA, Sweet Projects and Propyard named as main event sponsors.
About Leukaemia Care
Around 10,000 people per year are diagnosed with leukaemia and the UK’s leading leukaemia charity, Leukaemia Care, offers support to them all.
For over 50 years, the organisation has been dedicated to ensuring that everyone affected receives the best possible diagnosis, information, advice, treatment and support. Their wide range of support services ensure that people get information, practical and emotional support at the times when they need it. This year, they have launched a hospital support worker within Bristol who will be on hand at haematology clinics to give advice and signpost services that actively improve the lives of people living with leukaemia.
Unicornfest is set to raise tens of thousands for the charity to help continue their work in Bristol and beyond.
