In the year that Bristol Zoo Gardens celebrated its 175th anniversary, Wow! Gorillas brought a world class mass public art event to the streets and parks of Bristol during the summer. Artists decorated life-size gorillas, sponsored by local businesses which were then placed around the city for 10 weeks between 6 July and 6 September, bringing together residents, visitors, schools, artists and businesses for a truly memorable shared experience for the whole city. The Gorillas found their new homes at last night’s auction held at the Victoria Rooms, Clifton. Sounds Commercial are proud to have sponsored the event production on the evening that featured specially commissioned video footage, live entertainment and of course our state of the art technical equipment and production crew. The event was a sell out and raised £427,000, significant funds that will help support gorilla conservation projects and Bristol charity Wallace and Gromit’s Grand Appeal. www.bristolzoo.org.uk/auction
