Middlesbrough Art Week is back for its 7th edition and takes place across Middlesbrough town centre. It runs for a full week of exhibitions, talks, workshops, performances, events and exciting public interventions.

 

As a volunteer, you'll play a vital role in creating a vibrant atmosphere and ensuring that attendees have a fantastic time. Whether you're a seasoned event volunteer or new to the scene, we welcome all to be a part of our dedicated team.

You'll have fun, meet new people and be part of a team! You'll learn about new performers and artists and be at the heart of the Festival. You'll be helping others have a great time and making the festival a success. You'll connect with and support your community. You'll gain confidence, learn about different career opportunities and enhance your CV. And there's always the chance to socialise at our after-event party!
