Art event to raise money toward Indian Elephants

Up to now, The Elephant Parade is said to be London’s biggest outdoor art event on record. There, 260 lifesize sculptures of elephants strolled along the streets of the city. This year the parade was brought to London by trustees and patrons like Priya and Cyrus Vandrevala, founders of The Vandrevala Foundation; a charitable social enterprise focused on making a sustainable difference for those in need.

The parade was launched in Trafalgar Square and sees over 260 brightly painted life-size elephants located over central London this summer, each decorated by a different artist or celebrity. Those who want to view Marc Quinn’s lifesize elephant sculpture can pop down to New Bond Street where it can be seen from today outside Sotheby’s. This is one of the elephants sponsored by the philanthropist, Cyrus Vandrevala.
