Art meets charity: the lion campaign in Wels ensures city life

Wels. An exciting initiative takes shape: In the summer of 2025, 30 artistically designed lions will revitalize the city center of Wels. More than half of these impressive figures have already been sold, which shows the great interest in this charity project of the Lions Clubs Wels, Wels Pollheim and Welsland Traunau. The focus is on the commitment to a good cause.

Each of these lions weighs about 40 kilograms and is placed on a concrete base. The buyers have the opportunity to create the design of their figures according to their ideas, which promises a creative diversity. A lion purchase costs 3,000 euros, and the proceeds flow into various social projects. This combines art with an important social commitment, which makes the project particularly valuable.

interactive experiences and events

The summer of 2025 becomes exciting in Wels, with interactive elements that are attached to the lion statues. This includes QR codes, through which visitors can call up further information to the characters. In addition, a digital voting system is launched that enables citizens to choose their favorite lions. This lively interaction promotes the interest and participation of the community in the project.

Another highlight will be the "Löwensafari", which extends over two kilometers and offers the opportunity to capture the statues in pictures. This creative initiative represents an exciting addition to the winter event "Light Path" and is intended to revitalize the city center during the summer. "With these artistically designed lions we create a trilogy of art, business and social commitment," project manager Franz Grillmair, President of the Lions Club Wels Pollheim, describes the vision behind this project.

The lions themselves are not only viewed as works of art, but also as a backdrop for a variety of events that the city focuses on. The upcoming project offers a unique platform to bring the community together and at the same time support important social concerns.

The search for other buyers for the remaining lions is already in full swing. If you want to become part of this extraordinary charity campaign, you have the opportunity to help shape the city of Wels in the summer of 2025 and do good. It remains exciting to see how this project will develop and what it can mean for the city.

For interested parties and buyers, there is an excellent way to not only beautify the city center, but also to leave a positive footprint in the community. With this campaign, the Lions Clubs set another sign of social commitment and creative cooperation.
