Sponsorship opportunities worth roaring for
Businesses, individually or working in partnership, community organisations, and schools are invited to sponsor a blank lion sculpture. Artists submit bold, creative designs, and at a special networking event hosted by Aspex Gallery, sponsors can choose their favourite to bring to life.
In summer 2026, the decorated lions will form a free art trail across Portsmouth which visitors can follow using a map and app, unlocking rewards, and discovering new places. The event roars to a close with a farewell event and auction, raising funds to support a citywide legacy.
