Snoopy will now go walkies in two new towns
EVEN though the Snoopy Art Trail was postponed until 2022, the Dogs Trust sculptures will now travel outside of Cardiff, too, to Porthcawl and Caerphilly.
Dogs Trust has announced it will be extending its A Dog’s Trail with Snoopy art trail into the nearby towns of Caerphilly and Porthcawl.
Originally intended as a Cardiff-based event with 50-plus sculptures, A Dog’s Trail with Snoopy will now go walkies to the two nearby towns, where at least six giant Snoopy sculptures will be displayed amongst key landmarks and public spaces, encouraging visitors to the trail to discover more stunning parts of the region.
It will last for 10 weeks from March 25 to June 5, 2022.
Dogs Trust, the UK’s largest dog welfare charity has teamed up with Wild in Art in collaboration with Peanuts to bring the new art trail to South Wales in Spring 2022, featuring the world-famous beagle, Snoopy.
The dog-friendly trail aims to raise awareness and funds for the Dogs Trust - which will soon be opening a brand new rehoming centre in Cardiff - and is a collaborative mass participation event, generating a social, wellbeing and economic boost for the towns, cities and communities involved.
The trail, a bit like the Snowdogs of 2017, will feature unique and colourful Snoopy sculptures designed by South Wales-based and national artists.
Welsh artists who would like the opportunity to have their work showcased on a giant Snoopy sculpture are being encouraged to apply and submit their designs by July 1.
Each sculpture will be sponsored by a business or individual and have its own tale to tell, many showcasing Wales’ wealth of artistic talent.
At the end of the trail, the Snoopy sculptures will be auctioned to raise vital funds for Dogs Trust.
Businesses, individuals and regional organisations who want to find out more about how they can make their mark on one of the most iconic dogs in the world and sponsor the Snoopy art trail can find out more at https://adogstrail.org.uk/
