Meet the artists

Unleashing creativity throughout Canary Wharf!

Our guide dog sculptures are showcasing the work of incredible and uniquely talented artists who are using their creativity to entertain, celebrate and educate.

And every dog has a ‘tail’ to tell. Spanning different genres, styles and mediums, the designs are bright, bold and fun. Many also have tactile elements.

Find out the story behind each design – there are audio descriptions via the NaviLens App and guided sensory tours to ensure an accessible and inclusive trail that everyone can enjoy.

Come and see if you can find them all!

Meet our artists!

We have an amazing and diverse group of artists supporting our trail, including five who have lived experience of sight loss. From established to emerging artists, their talents span a variety of genres. Find out more about their experiences, inspirations and preferred artistic styles and mediums. Each artist is bringing their unique interpretation to our guide dog sculptures.

How artists came together to support a previous trail

Artists and Wild in Art representative talk to camera about their involvement in the Gratitude art trail, 2021 - in support of the NHS staff

It was a really nice opportunity for artists to showcase their gratitude for the NHS through art and storytelling.
