Summary
- Historic Trinity Market to become contemporary art hub.

Hull's Trinity Market, a historic site, is embarking on a significant transformation into a center for contemporary art. This initiative is part of a year-long pilot program orchestrated by Hull City Council in collaboration with the Feral Art School.
Artists and students will actively engage within the market's environment, developing and exhibiting their creations. The council will support this by organizing various exhibitions, events, and installations, fostering a vibrant cultural exchange.
Councillor Rob Pritchard highlighted the project as a crucial investment in the city's talent, innovation, and overall cultural vitality. He emphasized the market's historical role as a catalyst for Hull's creativity, with this partnership extending that legacy to the next generation of artists.
Jackie Goodman, founder of Feral Art School, views the market's unique atmosphere as an ideal creative stimulus. The dynamic sights and sounds are expected to inspire new artistic explorations. The first exhibitions are slated for spring, with a full event program to be announced soon.
