Your home or business could soon be the backdrop for a striking piece of artwork.

If you are interested in the arts, have a unique building, wish to bring attention to your business or simply have a space which would benefit from an injection of colour then you may be interested in providing a temporary home for a piece of art.

The artworks come in the form of large external public art posters, which are being produced as a series of 26 images that depict different art styles from the 20th century but with a twist as they all have a link to Lichfield.

The first three public art posters which showed reworkings of Andy Warhol, with a pop art version of Samuel Johnson; Rat le Bek with a street art interpretation of David Garrick and Joseph Kosuth with a dictionary definition of the historic uses of the poster have already been on display on St John’s House, one of Lichfield’s finest grade II* listed Georgian buildings.

The posters are being designed by professional and developing artists, students and schools, including up and coming artists from around the area and students at the College of arts.

All of the posters have been designed as part of the ‘52 Weeks of Art’ project, which is supported by the Arts Council West Midlands. The project has been developed to raise the profile of the visual arts in the city by offering free access to the general public.

The posters will be ready for display at various points during February – May 2010. Placement of the posters will have no adverse effect on your building.
