The four leverets nearest the photographer are (from right to left): #140 - Harry Hare, painted by members of the Holt Rugby Club; #69 - Crystal, painted by members of the 1st Old Catton Rainbows; #111 - Night Sky, painted by pupils from the Falcon Junior School; and #94 - Harmony Hare, painted by pupils from the Chapel Green School. For 11 weeks during the summer of 2018, 50 beautifully painted hare sculptures are on display at strategic locations in the city of Norwich. The sculptures will be sold by auction in September, with the proceeds going to the Norfolk charity 'Break'. Apart from the 50 so-called city hares there are also 18 county hares, referred to as 'moongazers' because they look upwards, and smaller leveret sculptures of the GoGoCreate project which are frequently on display in shop windows. The leverets depicted here are part of a group of 34 which can be seen on the dining terrace of the intu Chapelfield shopping centre. The leverets, of which there are altogether 164, were painted by youth groups, schools, members of scouting, guiding and community groups, and sports clubs.
