Middlesbrough Art Week is the North East’s leading annual contemporary art festival, with a free public programme of art exhibitions, workshops, talks and interactive installations. Born in 2017 as an artist-led festival powered by The Auxiliary Project Space, now driven by a small growing team of artists, curators, coordinators & creative instigators; and fueled by wide reaching partnerships. MAW supports artist ecologies in the North East, connecting artistic practice and ideas with like-minded peers nationally and internationally, and is committed to practice and principles of fair work and social justice.
