About

The BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art in Gateshead is the UK's largest dedicated contemporary art space, housed in a landmark 1950s flour mill on the banks of the River Tyne. Since opening in 2002, it has become a central social and creative hub for the North East, commissioning new work and hosting major international exhibitions. With its industrial-chic galleries, dramatic glass-walled lifts, and a rooftop restaurant offering panoramic views of the Tyne bridges, it provides a unique and accessible environment where the public can engage with the art of today.
