UNESCO City
Of Media Arts .
York is 1 of 25 cities worldwide that was selected by UNESCO because of its outputs in Media Arts. Other global destinations that share this status include Austin, Texas; Sapporo, Japan; and Toronto, Canada. Our outputs in York are on a par with these global destinations. We need to offer progression routes and pathways into the creative industries and Reignite is a cross-sector vision, which sees businesses of all sectors collaborating. This status should be imbedded into the ecosystem of the city and all businesses creative, heritage, retail, hospitality, transport and services should unite behind our designation, because collectively we can go much further.
