Gromit Unleashed, Public art sculpture trail in Bristol, United Kingdom
Gromit Unleashed is a sculpture trail featuring around 67 large fiberglass figures spread across Bristol's streets and surrounding areas. The figures display characters from the Wallace and Gromit series, each painted in distinct ways by different artists.
The first installation launched in 2013 and displayed decorated figures throughout the city, with proceeds benefiting a children's hospital. The project has returned in later years, showing how the event has become important to the community.
Each sculpture is painted by different artists, showing how creativity from around the world comes together in Bristol's streets. As you walk through the city, you see these figures as places where people pause and spend time with art.
You can find the sculptures using maps available at local shops or through the Detect-o-Gromit mobile app. It helps to plan your route in advance since the figures are spread across a wide area.
Some figures were damaged during the exhibition, leading to stronger security measures in later editions. This shows how much the community values the art installation.
