Mark Robinson has been appointed as the interim director of Middlesbrough art gallery mima.
The move follows the announcement of director Kate Brindley's departure from her £63,000-a-year job after nearly five years at the Middlesbrough modern art gallery.
She is to join the Arnolfini Centre for the Contemporary Arts in Bristol.
Mr Robinson's appointment has been agreed with Arts Council England and Teesside University, which is taking over the day-to-day running of mima under a new partnership with Middlesbrough Council .
It has already been stated that the switch in management will not lead to a different type of art being displayed.
Mr Robinson, who lives in Eaglescliffe, is a former executive director of the Arts Council in the North-east.

He takes on the mima role on an interim basis until a full-time replacement for Ms Brindley is appointed, and he will assist in the recruitment process for the new director.
“I’m really pleased to be able to help take mima through to the next stage of its development," he said.
“I look forward to working with the staff, the council and university to put everything in place for an even brighter future for mima’s work with artists, audiences, and the community.”
