BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art
BALTIC’s strong and playful brand mirrors the iconic building in which it is housed. Quality, integrity and accessibility are its brand values, while its personality is sophisticated, stylish and self-deprecating.
Housed in a landmark industrial building on the south bank of the River Tyne in Gateshead, BALTIC presents a dynamic, diverse and international programme of contemporary visual art. BALTIC has no permanent collection, providing instead an ever-changing calendar of innovative exhibitions and events that give a unique insight into contemporary artistic practice. 2011 sees BALTIC host the Turner Prize 2011, the first time it has been shown outside of a Tate venue.
