Key findings

York Curiouser 2014 was a huge success. Nearly 40,000 people visited artworks or participated in events – look at our archive pages for details. Now we are working towards making York Curiouser 2016 happen. During 2015, York Curiouser is researching artists, making funding applications and testing ideas for developing the project, in workshops, artist-led talks and events for the Festival of Ideas in June. York Curiouser is listening to its partners and audience to plan for what York Curiouser 2016 might look like.

In June 2015 we also re-installed In Between by John Wedgwood Clarke on the walls of York’s passageways that inspired the poems. See images on our 2015 flickr page of the poems and our events during this time.
