How other schools have benefited

See how other schools have benefited from getting involved in other Wild in Art art trails.

Just some of the benefits include:

  • Adopt & Decorate a Bear: Schools will receive their own smaller Bear cub sculpture to design and decorate, ready to be displayed alongside the 30 large sculptures as part of the community art trail.
  • Curriculum-Linked Resources: We will provide engaging educational materials that explore art, storytelling, and local history, ensuring the project is not only fun but also enriching for students.
  • Showcase Your Talent: Once completed, the community Bear cubs will take pride of place in the town alongside the main trail, showcasing the imagination and artistic talents of our local young people.
  • A Lasting Legacy: At the end of the event, your school’s Bear cub will return home, leaving a permanent reminder of your involvement in this incredible project.
