A historic market in Hull is going to be transformed into a hub for contemporary art, Hull City Council said.
The authority said it was teaming up Feral Art School and Trinity Market for a year-long pilot programme.
Artists and students will work within the market to create and showcase new works, and the council will collaborate on exhibitions, events and installations.
Councillor Rob Pritchard said it was an investment “in talent, in innovation, and in the cultural life of our city centre.”
Pritchard said Trinity Market had always been a place where Hull’s creativity thrives.
“This partnership builds on that by opening space for the next generation of artists to test ideas, make work and connect with new audiences,” he said.
Jackie Goodman, who founded the Feral Art School, said the market environment would be a creative catalyst for their artists.
“The sights, sounds and rhythms of Trinity Market create a dynamic environment to explore creatively,” she said.
The council said the first exhibitions and commissions would be launched in the spring and a programme of events would be announced shortly.
