Liverpool is set to stage a world-class art participation event using its most popular and iconic sculpture – the SuperLambBanana.

For ten weeks during this Summer, Liverpool will be full of surprises as 100 Superlambananas are transformed into unique and exciting artworks displayed throughout the streets, parks, neighbourhoods and open spaces – creating a magical atmosphere which is sure to capture the imagination of residents and visitors alike.

Originally created by Taro Chiezo for Arts Transpennine in 1998, a 180cm tall Superlambanana has been specially designed to enable local and regional artists, celebrities, residents and businesses to showcase their creativity and celebrate the fun and diverse spirit which is at the very heart of Liverpool.

Following the event, many of the Superlambananas will be sold at a charity auction with a significant percentage of the proceeds going to the Lord Mayor’s Charity Appeal.
