The Story Trail Artists
Make your art part of our story – apply now to be a Story Trail Artist.
Amaze, your local charity supporting families with disabled children, has partnered with Wild in Art to bring you The Story Trail—a free, fun and family-friendly adventure.
Between September and November 2026, you can uncover a city-wide gallery of more than 30 BookBenches. Each one is an open book, designed by a talented artist and waiting to be discovered. The story continues with a heartwarming collection of smaller BookBenches, lovingly decorated by local schools and community groups, adding their own chapters to our city’s tale.
