About us
Art on Your Doorstep.
We are delighted to be partnering with the National Gallery this year.
Life-size reproductions of masterpieces from the National Gallery collection are installed around Brentford as part of a new national touring project, The National Gallery: Art On Your Doorstep. Brentford is one of twelve towns across the UK that will share paintings from the nation’s collection with communities beyond Trafalgar Square.
Sir Gabriele Finaldi, Director of the National Gallery said in an article in the Telegraph
“What is on offer here is spectacularly generous towards the public, but free entry is not enough to get people in, which is why we have programmes like ‘Art on Your Doorstep’, which takes reproductions of great paintings and puts them up in the streets of places like Brentford and Croydon,”
The outdoor exhibition will be on display until 14 February 2027.
25 printed reproductions of masterpieces from the National Gallery are exhibited across the town. Each painting is reproduced life-sized, in fine detail and in its frame, allowing visitors the chance to look closely at the brushstrokes and discover hidden details. Outdoors and free to view, this exhibition will entwine art with the everyday.
The exhibition is influenced by this year’s Creative Mile theme of ‘love’ and be shaped by Brentford’s people, landmarks and history.
