By providing space for mutual support and creative nourishment, the festival becomes a platform for new ideas, new perspectives, and the possibility of new worlds, In All Possible Worlds.Middlesbrough Art Week was born in 2017 as an artist-led festival powered by The Auxiliary Project Space, a small growing team of artists, curators and coordinators, 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 not just preach principles of fair work and social justice.www.middlesbroughartweek.comInstagram: @middlesbrough.art.weekTwitter: @MAW_weekender
