Wolverhampton Unleashes Dragon Sculptures This Summer!
19 Oct
Summary
- 30 large dragon sculptures will grace Wolverhampton's landmarks.
- Artists nationwide are invited to submit their unique designs.
- The trail aims to raise funds for Compton Care hospice charity.
A major public art trail, "Trail of the Dragons," will transform Wolverhampton with 30 vibrant, large-scale dragon sculptures from July 5 to September 5, 2027. This exciting event invites artists of all abilities, both regionally and nationally, to submit their designs for unique artistic creations.
The submission deadline for artists is December 6. The chosen dragon sculptures will be brought to life through painting during March and April of 2027. These dragons represent the spirit and mission of Compton Care, the hospice charity spearheading the initiative.
Beyond the impressive 30 main sculptures, an additional 30 smaller 'hatchling' dragons, decorated by local schools and community groups, will be displayed indoors. An app and trail map will guide visitors. After the nine-week public exhibition concludes, the large dragons will be auctioned in October 2027 to generate funds for Compton Care's palliative and bereavement support services.
