ART on a pizza box? TOM thinks it’s a topping idea, especially when it’s for charity. So good luck to Motor Square pizza parlour and cocktail bar Crazy Pedro’s which is celebrating National Pizza Month by throwing down the fund-raising gauntlet to local artists.
They’ve asked well-known names in the area to design their own pizza boxes which are to be displayed on their walls throughout October. Among the contributors (names still under wraps) are famous Northern Quarter street artists and tattooists.
The project will culminate with a special auction at the end of the month where the pieces will go on sale for charity. All money raised will go to The Christie.
Lyndon Higginson, of The Liars Club and Crazy Pedro’s, says: “We were looking for something imaginative and a little offbeat for National Pizza Month and that’s how we came up with the idea. The pizza box project really epitomises Crazy Pedro’s rebellious and unconventional attitude and we’re excited so many talented artists have got on board.”
Local artists have until the 23rd October to submit their work For updates on the auction event stay tuned to Facebook and Twitter.
