Artwork produced by children over the past two years has gone on display.

The exhibition, Bigger Picture, features work by children from Middlesbrough, Redcar and Cleveland, Stockton, Hartlepool and Darlington in 20 creative partnerships schools in the Tees Valley.

The exhibition, in Middlesbrough Town Hall crypt, includes animation, photography, textiles, sculpture, drawing and painting.

Arts officer Jenny Hall said: "These young people have enjoyed a wide range of extraordinary artistic experiences and have also had the invaluable experience of working with artists from across the region and nationally.

"The exhibition brings all the schools together and allows them to appreciate each other's work, as well as helping them recognise their own considerable achievements."

The exhibition is open from 9.30am to 5pm today and from 9.30am to 12.30pm tomorrow. Admission is free.
