That project saw 15 copies of masterpieces brought to the city<\/a> for free-of-charge viewing, and will close on 7 January before the new works go on show later in the month.<\/p>\n“The National Gallery exhibition has been a fantastic success, bringing life size masterpieces from artists like Van Gogh and Monet right to people’s doorsteps,” said councillor Sarah Hill, cabinet member at Stoke-on-Trent City Council.<\/p>\n
“We wanted to build on that success by keeping the outdoor gallery space active with work from our own talented local artists.<\/p>\n
“This continues our commitment to making art accessible to everyone, without opening hours or entry fees, while celebrating the creativity we have right here in Stoke-on-Trent.”<\/p>\n

Artwork by local artist Charles William Brown will go on display later in January<\/p>\n
Bosses at The National Gallery chose Stoke-on-Trent as the first place in the UK to host the artworks, as part of the city’s centenary celebrations.<\/p>\n
The specially-designed display fittings will remain in place and will be used to showcase work from the Potteries Museum and Art Gallery’s collection, which city leaders said would help make world-class art accessible to residents and visitors.<\/p>\n
The work of Staffordshire artist Charles William Brown (1882 – 1961) will be the first to go on display.<\/p>\n
His paintings captured the region’s industrial and urban life – depicting miners at work and pottery decorators as well as lively streets and domestic scenes plus the natural world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Richard PriceWest Midlands Stoke-on-Trent City Council The National Gallery’s Art on Your Doorstep exhibition will finish on 7…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":221307,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[307,304,305,306,308,93,61,60],"class_list":{"0":"post-221306","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-arts-and-design","8":"tag-arts","9":"tag-arts-and-design","10":"tag-artsanddesign","11":"tag-artsdesign","12":"tag-design","13":"tag-entertainment","14":"tag-ie","15":"tag-ireland"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/221306","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=221306"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/221306\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/221307"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=221306"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=221306"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=221306"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
