Sculptures across London's Canary Wharf don red noses for Comic Relief

London's Canary Wharf Arts + Events team are getting in on the fun and supporting Red Nose Day which takes place today (Friday 13 March 2015), with seven of its impressive sculptures dotted across the Estate donning comical red noses.

Two bronze sculptures wearing red noses stand in a Canary Wharf plaza surrounded by winter trees and modern buildings, with a person in a red jacket viewing them nearby

Canary Wharf is of course home to one of the UK’s largest public accessible art collections with 65 permanent sculptures, works of art and design by over 50 world-renowned artists and designers. The Group recently launched a new book entitled Sculpture at Canary Wharf: A Permanent Collection - a celebration of its long-standing commitment to supporting arts and culture. To find out more, visit Canarywharf.com.

All money raised for Red Nose Day is spent by Comic Relief to transform the lives of millions of people, both at home in the UK and across Africa.
