The Big Dog Art Trail 2023

Wild in Art is a leading creative producer of spectacular, mass-appeal public art events, which connect businesses, artists and communities through the power of creativity and innovation. Wild in Art has partnered with Julia's House children's hospice charity to bring a uniquely designed and painted group of balloon dogs to Swindon as part of The Big Dog Art Trail — a world class art trail which will introduce a paw-some pack of Swindogs and smaller Swinpups to the streets, parks, and open spaces of Swindon. How many Swindogs and Swinpups will you find on The Big Dog Art Trail app?

Each Swindog sculpture is uniquely decorated by professional artists from Swindon and all over the UK, while most of the smaller Swinpups are designed by local school children, students and community groups. Once you have found a Swindog or Swinpup, you can collect them on the app, unlock rewards, view your trail stats and add your fun pictures to our gallery.

The event is a large-scale, family-friendly, free public art exhibition and showcase, reflecting the vibrant and talented art and culture scene in Swindon. As an attraction for everyone to see and explore, it will positively contribute to the economic, social and cultural life of Swindon. Importantly, the art trail will also help to raise awareness and vital funds for Julia's House, the local children's hospice charity.

By connecting with the app, you can find out all the news and events for the trail and support Julia's House. And, if that’s not enough, you can track how far you've been on your trail walkies with the pedometer!

Download the app and get involved in The Big Dog Art Trail 2023, and come and visit all the bright and bold balloon dogs sniffing around Swindon this summer!
