Baltic is pledging to kickstart your summer with an action-packed weekend of exhibitions, gaming, talks, tours and al fresco fun.
On Saturday 15 July, Baltic are bringing together over 50 artists and makers from across the North and beyond, offering stunning works across painting, ceramic, textiles, digital, and more, in the annual Art Car Boot Fair. Refreshments will come from local Food & Drink vendors and ice cream stalls, chilled music will come from Live DJs soundtracking the weekend vibes.
Following the recent successful takeover of Baltic by street artist Mul (Alec Mulholland) which included a immersive, technicolour and augmented reality defining exhibition, the Mul x Baltic collaboration is back. The North East based street artist, has covered Newcastle, Gateshead and beyond in 'DiscoVibes' murals and motifs that have brought colour, energy and joy to walls, floors and lampposts. The Mul x Baltic Pop-Up Shop will launch on Saturday 15 July. Remaining open all weekend and throughout the summer on Baltic’s Ground Floor, exclusive products tipped to be available.
