Housed in a landmark industrial building on the south bank of the River Tyne in Gateshead, BALTIC is the biggest gallery of its kind in the world. It presents a dynamic, diverse and international programme of contemporary visual art.

The gallery has no permanent collection, providing instead an ever-changing calendar of exhibitions and activities that give a unique and compelling insight into contemporary artistic practice. The comprehensive programme ranges from blockbuster exhibitions to innovative new work and projects created by artists working within the local community.

BALTIC aims to be a place where visitors can experience innovative and provocative new art, relax, have fun, learn and discover fresh ideas.

The gallery receives funding from The National Lottery through Arts Council England, Gateshead Council, Northern Rock Foundation and is supported by the European Regional Development Fund and One NorthEast.
