Snailspace

Reflecting on his original concept drawings at aptly branded ‘Snailspace’ trail, IDEAS® Creative director, Don Jack said “this is the perfect antidote to the fast-paced stresses of life in the digital age“ Complimenting the concept, Wild In Art Director: Charlie Langhorne went on "The snails are 'out there' and innovative and will be worthy of huge exposure."

SnailSpace followed the success[3][4] of Martlets' previous art exhibition "Snowdogs by the Sea", which lasted between September and November 2016[5] and raised over £310,000 for the charity.

[citation needed] On 2 January 2018, Martlets put out an ad for local artists to work on this "unusual 3D canvas" and to contact project manager Sarah Harvey to get involved.

[7] Also throughout this period, Martlets hired a number of sponsors around Brighton, and also enlisted the help of various shops, who would give out their products discounted or free, as a reward for participants of the Snail Trail.

On 14 November, four days before the installation closed, Martlets held a farewell party where they brought together all of the snails at the St Augustines Arts and Events Centre.
