From 23 November - 13 December | Solid Ground is an exhibition to showcase some of the unsung heroes of the Teesside creative community. 

We've been featured in the latest edition of Art Monthly with a fantastic write up from Tom Jeffreys

Over the past 16 years, artist-filmmaker Kerry Baldry has been curating and organising an innovative series of artists' moving image programmes titled One Minute.

We want to extend a huge thank you to everyone who joined us for Middlesbrough Art Week 2024. This year, we asked the questions: How do we grow a festival? Who has the right to take action? Can art help shape communities?

SPARK is an arts project and initiative developed by us and funded by Borderland with support from MBC and Arts Council England. SPARK is a dynamic six-month program focused on co-creative activities, learning, training, and fostering community connections.

Sonic Arts Week! Yep, it's back for round three, and this time, it's taking over the lively streets and public spaces of Middlesbrough. Curated by the team from The Auxiliary Project Space, SAW is your ticket to cranking up the volume.

The 5 artists selected for the Tees Valley Artists of the Year award have been announced; but what is the Tees Valley Artist of the Year award? It is a groundbreaking model run by Tees Valley Combined Authority which supports an ambition to develop the region as an ‘engine room for creative artists’.

We’ve been over at Navigator North for our community gathering. A fantastic opportunity for organisations across Middlesbrough to come together, enjoy food, connect and share networks. In a room full of creatives, there’s truly no better time to explore how we can share our skills and what that would look like.

What happens when you organise an art festival but don't have your central exhibition space...you decide to grow one! Over the next couple of months "8 schools and community groups across Middlesbrough are taking part in a special project for MAW24...to grow an exhibition!" This project is directed by curator Claire Feeley and creative practitioner Sue Loughlin. 

The Auxiliary is inviting applications from Teesside based artists for an artist residency at Redbarn in Youghal, Ireland. The artist in residence can use the week for developing ideas, research or as a retreat to recharge their batteries in an idyllic rural location close to the sea.
