GALLERY // STUDIOS // WORKSHOP // TOOL LIBRARY // RESIDENCY
The Auxiliary Project Space (Estb. 2016) started life as a raw, malleable live/work space in Stockton-on-Tees. Inviting artists into the home of directors Anna Byrne & Liam Slevin, the idea was to reimagine and reconfigure the space around their needs; from workspace to gallery, meeting point to studio. The Auxiliary grew and expanded, delivering festivals and performance series across the Tees Valley such as FEED (2016-Present) Middlesbrough Art Weekender (2017 & 2018,) Brick Day 2017 and Stockton Contemporary 2018.
In 2019, The Auxiliary Project Space expanded to include a 10,000 sqft. warehouse space in Middlesbrough. Consisting of two galleries, 12 studios and workshop/performance space, The Auxiliary Warehouse launches on the 24th May, 2019.
Curatorially, The Auxiliary is a site for the production of experimental & sound art practices. It encourages & promotes the sonic arts through investigating the rich local industrial, heritage and reimagines the Tees Valley as a site for invigorated, creative industries.
Enabling local, national and international artists in devising independent art platforms and structures for the dissemination of contemporary art practices throughout the Tees Valley.
