Windows of Opportunity

The city of York, in the UK, sees empty store fronts as an opportunity for rising star graphic designers to strut their stuff...an inspiring fusion of street art, breathing life to abandoned buildings, and celebrating the local artist community. The project is called Windows of Opportunity, and it's a unique example of collaboration between the city of York and its museum collective, York Museum Trust. WOO will dress empty shop windows with external, high quality vinyls which feature contemporary digital designs that respond to their setting, submitted by local artists. We're so inspired by this concept, especially during the economic hardships experienced by small towns and city centers nationwide. Wouldn't it be refreshing to see a project like this take hold in our own hometowns? Or perhaps it's already happening? If so, tell us about it - we'd love to share your story!
