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.
Situated on the south bank of the River Tyne in Gateshead, England, BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art consists of 2,600 square meters of art space, making it the UK’s largest dedicated contemporary art institution.
Our vision is to:
– commission and produce exhibitions, performances, public and learning programmes which champion the role of artists in contemporary society
– create environments and opportunities within and beyond BALTIC’s galleries where individuals and communities can explore different ways of seeing and thinking about the world by engaging with exceptional art and artists
– deeply root inclusivity and diversity in all our practices, processes and actions so we may better reflect and support our local, national and international communities
– devise and embed innovative research-engaged frameworks which support and encourage talent development of artists and future thinking through sustained collaboration, partnership and sector leadership.
BALTIC was founded with funding from The National Lottery through Arts Council England, Gateshead Council, Northern Rock Foundation, the European Regional Development Fund and One NorthEast.
