ART retailer artrepublic is raising money for the Martlets hospice in Hove ahead of taking its place as snail sponsor on the Snailway this autumn.

They opened a pop-up unit for two weeks next to its shop on Bond Street, Brighton, selling prints at discounted prices.

Snailspace’s own Feeling Groovy, designed by Pinky, took pride of place in the window to draw in curious customers and more than £1,000 was raised.

Director Andrew Milledge said: “We’re excited to be involved in Snailspace as Snowdogs was a great experience for us and it was fantastic to be involved in an art project that raised so much money for Martlets.

“We love the snails as they are such a great canvas for artists and as with Snowdogs, we’re going to encourage our artists to submit designs.”
