Light the North trail

The Light the North lighthouse trail took people on a cultural tour of the north-east of Scotland, including Moray, Orkney and Shetland. Visitors discovered over 45 lighthouse sculptures designed and created by some of the area’s most talented artists. The trail raised awareness and funds for the most significant cancer support charity in the region, CLAN Cancer Support. The charity shined a light of hope in the dark for anyone affected by cancer.

Pictish Hare

Art Trail Hare, there and everywhere! Clan Cancer Support, the north-east’s leading cancer support charity, has partnered with Wild in Art once again to bring an exciting new art trail to the north-east, Moray, Orkney and Shetland. The Big Hop Trail will take the public on another cultural tour of the north-east and the islands from July to September 2023, with hare sculptures designed and created by some of the country’s most talented artists. The trail coincides with Clan’s 40th anniversary, with the 40 hares being the focal point to celebrate the charity’s commitment to supporting people affected by cancer. We chose the hare sculpture as they are an indigenous animal found in all parts of Clan’s geography. Much like our clients during their cancer journey, hares have to navigate rough and difficult terrain in order to survive. They are also adaptable, like our services team who deliver support to anyone affected by cancer. Most importantly, hares have incredible hearing. What better way to depict our lifeline listening and support service and the importance of being heard?
