  Join our Wee Herd!

  Giraffe About Town - Join our 'wee herd'

  

  Giraffe About Town is a large-scale public art event which is taking place in Edinburgh during the summer of 2022. Designed to celebrate Edinburgh’s extraordinary heritage and cultural diversity, our 8ft giraffes will be displayed for two months in locations across the capital, highlighting iconic spots and hidden gems from Edinburgh Airport to Leith.

  
  

  As part of the trail we’re excited to announce our ‘wee herd’ of smaller giraffes supported by Essential Edinburgh and City Fibre. Each four-foot-tall sculpture will be designed and decorated by groups from Edinburgh Schools and local communities.

  Submissions are now closed, but watch this space for details of how to follow our wee herd soon!
