about the show.

The New Graduate Award supports ten fine art graduates, two from each of the partner universities; Teesside University, The Northern School of Art, The University of Sunderland, Northumbria University and Newcastle University. 

The program bridges the gap from study to practicing artist, creating a talent pipeline. Connecting the artists with the wider scene in the North East through an intensive weekend of talks from artists and trips to galleries including MIMA and The Baltic. This three month award is grounded in a residency with artists housed in Middlesbrough with the Auxiliary, in Sunderland with Breeze Creatives and in Gateshead with Orbis Community. As well as an artist fee and financial support for materials and travel. 

The award culminates with a curated group exhibition of ambitious drawing, painting, installation and sculpture as part of Middlesbrough Art Week.
