Castle Gateway
June - December 2019
In June 2019, three York-based creatives were commissioned to develop major projects on Castle Gateway.
The projects form part of City of York Council’s consultation on the city centre space, using sound, light and dance to reference the past whilst looking to the future of the iconic site.
An open call for York-based artists was put out earlier in the year, and an independent panel of local and national experts selected the best projects to receive part of a £40,000 fund to realise the ambitious plans.
The projects use art in different ways to engage the local community and prompt further discussion about improving the Castle Gateway area, which stretches from the Ouse to Fossgate, including the Eye of York and Castle Car Park.
Out of a host of applications, three stood out for their unique approach to the project: York Dance Space, Kaizen Arts in collaboration with English Heritage and Common Ground Theatre in collaboration with Hannah Bruce and Co.
