Under the evocative theme In All Possible Worlds, MAW25 dared to imagine a future — one shaped by creativity, resilience, and hope. Delivered by The Auxiliary Project Space, Middlesbrough Art Week is built on collaboration, support, and the nurturing of creative practices.

In a world where shared spaces and collective experiences define the human condition, it has become increasingly difficult to make sense of the complexities around us. MAW25 embraced this uncertainty, offering a space where attendees could see and feel through one another’s eyes. By providing space for mutual support and creative nourishment, the festival became a platform for new ideas, new perspectives, and the possibility of new worlds — In All Possible Worlds.
