Middlesbrough Art Week
Middlesbrough Art Week | MAW was born in 2017 (formerly known as Middlesbrough Art Weekender) MAW is the result of too much coffee and late night conversation. It’s grown to become the largest annual contemporary arts festival in the North East, an event that champions Middlesbrough’s heritage, industrial past and creative scene, transforming the town centre into a creative hub. Middlesbrough is the creative gem of the North East, and MAW shouts about this with a town takeover every year.
Over the years we’ve invited artists to make the Transporter Bridge sing, installed a giant drawing ball at Middlesbrough Town Hall, and brought a dystopian model village to Centre Square, turned Church House into a beating heart and an old bank into an art gallery.
