The Zoo Middlesbrough CIC is an emerging community interest company located in Hill Street Shopping Centre, Middlesbrough. Founded by Chloe Stevenson and Charmaine Twidale—two award-winning Fine Art students at Teesside University—
The Zoo is a safe, inclusive, creative space supporting emerging artists and serving the diverse communities of Teesside.
Our mission is to provide accessible opportunities for creative expression, cultural exchange, and community engagement through exhibitions, workshops, and events.
Since opening in April 2025, our debut exhibition showcased the work of over 20 artists and welcomed more than 100 visitors, reflecting strong local interest and the potential for long-term impact.
We provide artist with a new and popular space to display their work, photography of the work throughout the exhibition period and promotional opportunities.
We market the exhibition and the work on our Instagram to over 700 followers and with physical posters placed in the busiest parts of Middlesbrough town centre.
