Gromit Unleashed!, an exhibition of eighty artist-customized Wallace and Gromit sculptures, is being held in Bristol, England.  The five-foot tall sculptures will remain on exhibit for ten weeks before being auctioned.  The proceeds raised by the even will benefit the Bristol Children’s Hospital charity.  If you don't have the sort of scratch you'd need to bid on a major piece of art, you can help out by downloading the Detect-O-Gromit! app for iTunes or Android for a little over a dollar.  The apps contain more info about the sculptures and artists, and the proceeds from app sales also benefit the charity.  You can see lots more in the Gromit Unleashed Group on Flickr.
