Bridgewood House, a hotel and residence in the centre of Stafford, has launched the art campaign, which is called "Off The Wall – The Urban Art Shout Out initiative"

The house is looking for artists who specialise in visual urban art to create a living art exhibition on the walls of the house.

Artists are invited to use stencils, paint, markers, video projections or any other medium they choose to produce art works normally seen on walls and subways in the town.

Sam Hadley, general manager at Bridgewood House, said the project was part of a rebrand by the house to become a vibrant part of the community.

He said: "We aim to have our doors wide open to the community of Stafford and are excited to be working with locally talented people to bring creative arts and expression to the walls of our house.

"We look forward to working with local artists and can’t wait to announce who we will be partnering with to take on the challenge."

Any artists interested in taking part in the project should email bridgewoodhouse@thisdogbites.co.uk
