BALTIC is committed to keep all of our operations under review to determine what actions and choices can be made, within financial, operational and technical boundaries, to reduce and minimise our environmental impact. Find out more our current initiatives to operate more sustainably.
Our mission is to create greater understanding of the world through outstanding, experimental and inspiring contemporary art which has power, relevance and meaning for individuals and communities. Housed in a landmark industrial building on the south bank of the River Tyne in Gateshead, BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art is the UK’s largest dedicated contemporary art institution.
In line with Government guidelines, BALTIC, Six Restaurant and BALTIC Shop will be closed from Thursday 5 November. BALTIC will re-open on 6 January 2021. We look forward to welcoming you back.
