Scotland’s first ever national public art trail that is aiming to unite the country as it raises awareness and vital funds for Scotland’s children’s hospital charities is coming in to it’s last few weeks
Oor Wullie’s BIG Bucket Trail has been running for 11 weeks it started on 17th June 2019 – 30th August 2019, and will be culminating in a series of Farewell Events and nationwide auctions in each of the five host cities, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dundee, Aberdeen and Inverness.
Many SMILER’s will have got to see the Oor Rod figure sponsored by McQueens Dairies on Glasgow’s Buchanan Street and taken pictures… so lets see them, you can post your pictures here and share them with other Rod fans.
The Oor Rod figure is the work of artist Graham Farquhar studied Graphic Design / Illustration at Glasgow School of Art in the late ’70s before going into the teaching profession in the ’80s. Although Graham has been teaching for over thirty years, he has been able to produce a variety of artwork ranging from portrait commissions through to miniature sculptures for family and friends. Lately Graham has enjoyed the challenge of working more in 3-D work, using a variety of media and producing props for school and public productions. He currently teaches art at Kingspark School in Dundee.
Funds raised through the trail will support Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity,Edinburgh Children’s Hospital Charity,and the ARCHIE Foundation, helping children in hospital across the country.
