Tom Jeffreys has written a lovely and considered review for Art Monthly of what we have been working towards for the annual Middlesbrough Art Week: “Tom Jeffreys reports on an exemplary critical art festival that supports communities of artists at the grassroots level”

Art Monthly 481: November 2024.

Middlesbrough Art Week’s 7th festival (which I’ve had the pleasure of being asked to help shape and artist-curate with an amazing team over the past 6 years) won a Best Event/Exhibition Award at the North East Culture Awards (2024) for an ‘ambitious programme of exhibitions, performances and events’, highlighting the strength of the festival through its broad mix of exhibiting opportunities and support for regional and international artists who may be just starting out or established: the North East Open Call regional exhibiton and support strand, the expanded New Graduate Award support for recent graduates, and a programme of work by internationally established artists.

One Minute Volume 9 will be screening at Close-Up Cinema, Sclater St., London E1 6HR on Thursday 12th December at 8.15 pm
