Art Car Boot Fair
Come for the art. Stay for the love. Art Car Boot Fair is returning as part of Baltic’s Summer Block Party.
It's back as the centrepiece to Baltic’s Summer Block Party, a sun-soaked celebration of creativity, community and connection. Baltic's Art Car Boot Fair brings together work by artists and makers from across the North and beyond, each piece selected and curated with love.
Expect sweet treats, local beverages, street food to make you feel warm and glowy on the inside – all soundtracked by a DJ spinning feel-good beats of summer. Presenting a wide range of affordable artworks, the fair is a perfect opportunity for anyone interested in art to purchase new and unique works, meet the artists and soak up the atmosphere.
💚 Please consider green transport for this event
Our car park will be closed from 9pm on Friday 3 July until 6pm on Saturday 4 July so we encourage using public transport, cycling, walking or carpooling if you can. There are 4 Blue Badge parking spaces directly adjacent to Baltic on South Shore Road.
