Course overview

Working Lives brings together artworks dating from the 1880s to 2024 held in the Middlesbrough Collection together with new acquisitions, an AI film offering an alternative vision of the collection and loaned pieces by contemporary artists connected with Cleveland Art Society, formerly known as the Cleveland Sketching Club, who played a pivotal role in laying the groundwork for the Middlesbrough Collection and the inception of MIMA in the 2000s.

MIMA’s Inspired By workshops are an opportunity to learn a new skill and experiment with creative techniques in an informal setting with guidance from experts from the School of Arts & Creative Industries, Teesside University. They take inspiration from artists and artworks in MIMA’s exhibitions programme and the Middlesbrough Collection.
