A project by Wonderstuff supporting the Newcastle Rugby Foundation in celebration of the Rugby League World Cup.
Newcastle-based, Wonderstuff, are running their annual Art x Sport project, celebrating the delayed 2021 Rugby League World Cup this year. They have assembled a squad of artists to interpret the World Cup, celebrating inclusion and diversity, onto a rugby ball. The unusual canvas provides a unique challenge that each has converted into a piece of art which are being auctioned off to raise money for the Newcastle Rugby Foundation.
The featured artist taking part in this years project are Adam Pointer, Kerry Neesam, David O'Malley, Dani Molyneux, James Rogers, Ben Tallon, Laura Scribbles and Paul Anderson.
“I want to make creativity, and physical activity to the forefront of peoples minds. ART X SPORT is a great opportunity to do this, support a local charity, and connect people.”
- Paul Alderson, Founder of Wonderstuff
The completed balls will be exhibited at Kingston Park Rugby Ground on the 22nd October during the RLWC Fiji vs Italy match and from the 24th to 29th October at The Biscuit Factory, the UK's largest independent commercial art, craft, and design gallery.
