Penguin Parade

We were honoured to be selected to take part in Dundee Maggie’s Penguin Parade 2018.

The sculptures were displayed across the city for three months before being auctioned to raise funds for Maggie’s Centre, supporting people affected by cancer and their families.

Our design, Scotland’s Sunniest City, was painted onto a giant fibreglass penguin using wall paint and paint pens. Inspired by Dundee’s reputation for having some of the highest annual sunshine in Scotland, the piece celebrates iconic local landmarks.

Featured on the penguin are Maggie’s Centre, Caird Hall and the RRS Discovery, alongside the Law Monument, McManus Gallery, Magdalen Green Bandstand, the V&A building and the Tay Bridge.

In total, 82 penguins were auctioned, raising £540,000 for Maggie’s.
