Public Art Trails
Following the success of the Public art trails during the London Olympic year there have been a number of other public art trials taking place.
In 2012 the Greater London Authority commissioned
Bus Art – Year of the Bus Sculpture Trails
Transport for London worked in partnership with Wild in Art during 2014 to produce the Bus Art – Year of the Bus Sculpture Trails. It ran in London for seven weeks. 60 bus sculptures were used to produce walking trails across the capital . On 24 March 2015 the bus sculptures were sold at auction with the funds going to three charities; Kids Company, London Transport Museum and Transaid.
