Art Everywhere 2013.

Mr and Mrs Andrews by Thomas Gainsborough is one of the 57 works of art chosen by the public to be part of this month's Art Everywhere project.  Although from the National Gallery, rather than from Gainsborough’s House, the couple are depicted on the Andrews' estate just outside Sudbury.

 The nation's favourite British art selected from a longlist from the UK's public collections has been announced today and will be part of a vast exhibition, entitled Art Everywhere, that will go on display on thousands of poster and billboard sites across the UK from 12 to 25 August 2013. With over 30,000 Facebook likes and over a 1,000 individual donations, people from around the UK have helped to create the world’s largest art show.

A projected audience of 90% of the UK’s adult population, from Banff & Buchan in Scotland to Torbay in Devon, and from Lowestoft in Suffolk to Belfast in Northern Ireland, will enjoy beautiful art instead of advertising for two weeks this summer. Cities, towns and villages of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland will see poster sites ranging from billboards to bus stops transformed into artworks across high streets, major roads, tube, train and metro stations, supermarkets, shopping malls, office buildings, cinemas, health clubs and bars. 2,000 London buses and 1,000 black cabs will transport the artworks around the city on view for passengers as they navigate the streets.

All of the 57 works of art chosen can be found on this site.
