GO WILD IN KINGSTON THIS SUMMER!
After the incredible success of the ‘Chimps Are Family’ Trail last year, Kingston First, the town’s Business Improvement District, is delighted to announce that internationally acclaimed artists Gillie & Marc have returned to Kingston upon Thames with their latest family-friendly public art exhibition, featuring ten stunning wildlife-inspired sculptures.
‘Wild Kingston’ is situated along Clarence Street, and includes some of the artist’s most iconic pieces, like Dogman and Rabbitwoman, alongside sculptures of the world’s most endangered animal species, celebrating wildlife conservation while transforming Kingston’s streets into an open-air gallery.
This free exhibition is the perfect opportunity for families to spend a full day out in Kingston Upon Thames during half term. While visitors are discovering the sculptures along Clarence Street, they have the opportunity to explore everything the town centre has to offer from Kingston’s lively riverside scene to the rich mix of shopping, delicious food, and must-see entertainment – fun for all the family!
Gillie and Marc, award-winning artists of the ‘Wild Kingston’ sculptures said:
“We are absolutely thrilled to be returning to Kingston upon Thames with our new collection of sculptures, following the incredible success of our ‘Chimps are Family’ exhibition. This upcoming exhibition is one of our most exciting yet, featuring some of our most interactive pieces, including our iconic Dogman and Rabbitwoman, alongside sculptures of the world’s most endangered species. Kingston has a special place in our hearts, and we can’t wait to share this collection with the community, bringing awareness to wildlife conservation in a way that connects and inspires people of all ages.”
