15 model hares are being displayed in my home city of Southampton as part of an interactive art trail. They have been in the city since June but are off towards the end of August. Each sculpture is 6ft tall and features its own unique design painted by artists in collaboration with Wild in Art. Today I found 10 of them.

I believe if I had a favorite – I would choose the last hare with the flowers. Very interesting works of art.

That was a nice one the plain gold one was a bit of a flop for me.

I LOVE this sort of public art project, even if temporary! The rabbits are wonderful, so creative. Years ago I worked in Everett, a small city north of Seattle. One summer they hosted a public art display: old pianos destined for the dump, rescued and whimsically painted by local artists. Some of them were playable, and people did!

We have several in Southampton in the past including horses and rhinos.

That’s a fun art project that I would enjoy seeing … the second-to-last hare has hares on his hairs! We have the museum artwork that is scattered around various parks. I featured the ones in our City, but I also have taken some museum art at a Metropark as well.

They were all good but I did not connect with the plain gold one!

I see you have another post about the hares … going to catch up here tonight. Too bad you did not get the entire set. I could not find one of the paintings at the park where I went. I couldn’t even find one in my city … we had several paintings in 2022. I think that is a fun idea.

I thought there would have been a map on-line of where they were but that seems as hard as finding the Hares!

I agree – a map would be better and give it to you when you pay for the admission/donation.

What fun! I think my favourite is the colourful one that seems to have ram’s horns or ear rings and is wearing a hare t-shirt, but it’s a close run thing.

I think they should have some workshops in the city art gallery with small plaster hares you can paint. I liked the one that was your favourite the best.
