AN art project has been launched to rejuvenate a city's creative industries.
The York Renaissance Project has invited artists to suggest futuristic schemes for the city.
The project has already agreed funding for several schemes, including video artwork projected through a church window, an installation where light responds to the movement of pedestrians, and a book of children's stories with a matching trail of night lights.
The project has been funded by Yorkshire Forward and is being delivered by City of York Council and First Stop York.
Rory McCarthy, the council's tourism development officer, said: "Renaissance is a completely new kind of project for York. For a long time our city has celebrated its heritage."
