Each edition is built around a thought-provoking theme, with inspiring speakers, hands-on activities, performances, and music. No two events are the same – each one has its own unique energy. Whether you’re a painter, ceramicist, designer, photographer, marketeer or just someone with a creative spark, you’ll find your people here.

It’s free, it’s open to everyone, and it’s where ideas turn into action.
Come for the stories. Stay for the energy. Be part of the conversation.

Cities Reimagined
How does art influence urban spaces?

Join us for the next edition of Cultural Conversations as we explore how creativity shapes the places we live, work and play. From bold public artworks to thoughtful city planning, Cities Reimagined invites you to consider how art and design influence the way we move through, interact with and imagine our urban spaces—especially here in Hull.

We’ll be joined by voices from across the creative landscape, including an artist working in public art and a guest from the worlds of architecture and urban planning. Together, they’ll offer fresh perspectives on how creativity can drive regeneration, foster community, and bring a sense of identity to our built environment.

We’ll also be asking important questions about the role of cultural buildings in our cities. How can we design them to be not only physically accessible, but welcoming, usable, and un-intimidating? What does it mean to create spaces that truly feel open to everyone? From libraries to galleries, we’ll look at how thoughtful design and inclusive thinking can transform how people engage with culture.

Whether you’re an artist, a designer, a placemaker—or just someone curious about the future of our city—this is a chance to connect, get inspired, and join in the conversation about how Hull can grow in imaginative and inclusive ways. Expect great people, big ideas, and plenty to talk about.

*Arrive early to catch up with friends and colleagues or stick around after to keep the conversation going.
