Artists are invited to submit their designs for a new character trail coming to York in 2024. The Snooks with Books trail is a brand-new sculpture trail for York, set to guide people through York’s cobbled streets and hidden gardens in 2024, organised by Make It York with charity partner St Leonard's Hospice.
The trail will see up to 30 Snooks with Books around the city. Each sculpture will be sponsored by local businesses, who will be paired with an artist to create a bespoke design for each sculpture.
Following a public vote to crown Snooks as the winning sculpture design, Make It York are now searching for artists across the country to put their stamp on the trail and bring the characters to life with their creative designs.
The theme for the sculptures is Yorkshire Authors and artists have until 5pm on 23rd June 2023 to submit up to three designs. Artists can find out more information here.
