Middlesbrough's Most Creative Station

Navigator North, working in partnership with Middlesbrough Council and station operators TransPennine Express, led on the delivery of the Most Creative Station programme at Middlesbrough Railway Station between Summer 2023 and Spring 2025. This included a series of nine artist commissions and an artist residency which aimed to animate the station with site specific artworks, creative interventions and opportunities for people to be creative. Artists include; Rachael Clewlow, Beth Johnson, Adam Shaw, Emma Bennett, Ed Carter, Keino, Helen Pailing, Gareth Hudson & Toby Thirling, Catherine Bertola and Nell Catchpole. The Most Creative Station programme encourages people to see the station and Middlesbrough in a new light. This 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.
