Background

History

Middlesbrough School of Art, on Durham Street, and the nearby Government School of Arts in the Athenaeum on Church Street, West Hartlepool first opened in 1870 and 1874 respectively. In May 1960, the Green Lane campus based in the Linthorpe area of Middlesbrough was opened by Robin Darwin, then-Principal of the Royal College of Art, and was later extended as Middlesbrough School of Art. The campus closed its doors and re-located to the centre of Middlesbrough in September 2021. The Northern School of Art is the only specialist art and design college in the north-east of England and one of only three in the country in the further education sector.
