lucy sparrow brings a felted sugar high to art miami 2723081

British artist Lucy Sparrow has brought a new felted candy shop installation titled "Sugar Rush" to Art Miami, featuring hand-sewn and hand-painted confectionery treats like Snickers, Peppermint Patties, and Twix, priced at $50 each. The interactive project, presented by London's TW Projects, includes affordable items such as $5 jellybeans and a $10,000 case of Haribo gummies, continuing Sparrow's decade-long tradition of delighting Miami Art Week audiences with her playful felt sculptures. Sparrow's career breakthrough came in 2016 when her installation "Sparrow's Deli" was purchased by 21C Museum Hotels, and she has since created notable projects including a felt bodega in New York and a felt McDonald's in Miami.

British artist Lucy Sparrow will present her first U.S. museum exhibition, “The Beginning of Convenience,” at the Momentary, the contemporary art hub of Crystal Bridges Museum in Bentonville, Arkansas, opening in summer 2026. The immersive installation recreates an American supermarket entirely in felt, featuring approximately 20,000 hand-sewn plush products evoking the 1980s and 1990s. Sparrow researched Walmart’s archives to curate semi-vintage items, nodding to the museum’s founding family. Unlike her previous felt installations, nothing will be for sale, and the free exhibition will include a recreation of her studio and a documentary. Sparrow will also debut a candy shop titled “Sugar Rush” at Art Miami with TW Fine Art in December 2025.
