Welcome to Baltic

The current racist and shameful scenes in our region and elsewhere in England are something we expressly condemn and denounce.

There is no place for this in our region. Newcastle and Gateshead are both recognised as a City of Sanctuary. There is no place for this in Baltic, a recognised Gallery of Sanctuary. We are open and are a safe space. We remind everyone that we have a zero tolerance of racism in our building and actively report hate crimes. 

We stand united with our migrants and refugee communities who we always call friends. We emphatically and warmly welcome people of colour and people from all backgrounds. We stand for peace, togetherness and acceptance - now and always.
