Something exciting is coming to Worthing in April

Kitty Shepherd balloon dog sculptures

For seven days, ceramic artist Kitty Shepherd taking over the gallery as part of a creative project organised by Julia’s House; a children’s hospice charity, to raise essential funds.

Called the Big Dog Art Trail, more than 30 larger than life balloon dog sculptures (to be known as the Swindogs) are going to be decorated both individually and uniquely by a series of specially selected artists.

Each day during the installation, people will be able to watch in real time as Kitty works on the 1.5 metre tall giant dog set up in the window of the gallery. She will be hand decorating the sculpture with one of her signature ceramic designs; the iconic orange Mivvi ice cream. Both nostalgic and timeless, the Mivvi epitomises childhood and the quintessential ‘70’s British summer and has an appeal which goes beyond art.
