Most Creative Station

Between Summer 2023 and Spring 2025 Navigator North, working in partnership with Middlesbrough Council and station operators TransPennine Express, are leading on the delivery of the Most Creative Station programme at Middlesbrough Railway Station.

This includes a series of artist commissions and residencies which aim to animate the station with site specific artworks, creative interventions and opportunities for people to be creative. The Most Creative Station programme encourages people to see the station and Middlesbrough in a new light.

The programme forms part of a large-scale project to transform several of Middlesbrough’s cultural anchors including the Central Library, MIMA, The Auxiliary and Platform A with support from The Cultural Development Fund, a Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) fund administered by Arts Council England.
