  	Detailed project description (200–400 words)	Hull 2017 has developed a key partnership with G F Smith, the leading international paper merchant founded and based in Hull. A major element of this partnership is a large scale project within the Look Up programme – ‘Paper City’. A series of beautiful, surprising, colourful installations using G F Smith Colorplan paper will be commissioned for sites in the Fruit Market.  One of the sites will be the Humber St Gallery.

Eight leading ‘creatives’ will be invited to create works or projects in response to site, context and material,, with the emphasis on the freedom to play with colour and paper. They will use mostly paper in the creation of these works, from the GF Smith Colorplan range.  The participants are artists Jacqui Poncelet, Joanna Sands and Richard Woods; architect Adam Holloway; designers Bethan Laura Wood, Max Lamb and Lazerian; creative consultants for GF Smith Made Thought.

The works will be on display for 10 days, 30 June - 9 July, at the launch of the Freedom season of Hull 2017.

As part of this project, Made Thought are also launching the "Worlds Favourite Colour" project, an interactive website which allows people to vote for their favourite colour.  The most -voted-for colour will be named after the person whose choice is closest to that shade and will be made into a new ream of Colorplan paper for the launch  of Paper City. Made Thought's installation will be linked to the World's Favourite Colour.

The World's Favourite Colour reveal will be part of the launch and opening for Paper City on 29 June in Humber St.  

“In a world of transient communication and fleeting digital memories, paper offers texture and feeling, weight and sensation…” G . F SMITH

GF Smith are contributing cash, the materials to make the installations, some of their marketing budget and the time and expertise of Made Thought and GF Smith staff.  Hull 2017 are contributing time and expertise of Look Up curators, and colleagues in Marcomms, and Hull 2017 will manage the design, install and take down process.

 	Residency: What opps will be created for our education programme? How will the project build new audiences through engagement? Note #s, types & duration of participation opps.	This project will work with bespoke school resources prepared for all key stages by the H2017 education team in the same way that seasons 1 and 2 projects are working.  This will include encouraging thinking about spaces,  drawings, materials and fabrication.  We will aim for at least one of the artists involved to talk at HSAD to students and public.	
 	Legacy: What is built into the core project that will ensure legacy?	There will be a legacy created through the structured programme of education and engagement focused on HSAD. There will also be a legacy through the development of new audiences for visual arts, as the city centre of Hull is transformed into a free gallery. The programme is designed to help audience view their city afresh, helping raise aspirations and positive views of the city centre of Hull.  This project also helps increase the perception of the Fruit Market area as a cultural quarter, and contributes to the diverse, new programme of Humber St Gallery
