 Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art - Museums National Shopping at dooyoo.co.uk
International centre for contemporary art situated on the south bank of the River Tyne.
For anyone who doesn’t know already, Baltic is a relatively new Art Gallery, known fondly by locals as Tate on Tyne, and housed in a former flour mill that has stood empty for years and years, home only to seagulls and pigeons before renovation completely transformed it into the beautiful art space it is now.
The idea for the Baltic began back in 1991 when Northern Arts announced very publicly that it wanted to change the face of Tyneside, breathing new life into an idea that Newcastle was a vibrant city, full of artist possibilities and as contemporary and “modern” as any southern city.

The thing I like best about the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art is the building itself.
The Baltic has no permanent collection, preferring “an ever changing calendar of exhibitions and activities” that last for 3 months or so and tend to be a bit hit-and-miss.
Baltic (Not THE Baltic) is an exciting new exhibition space in the regenerated quayside area and is just one of a number of conversions of former industrial buildings.

 Art: Spank the Monkey, Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art, Gateshead | | Guardian Unlimited Arts
Baltic's exhibition of 'street art' from around the globe is a fine showcase for underground talent - but isn't it missing the point?
Wisely, Alonso and his fellow curator, Baltic director Peter Doroshenko, have pushed the show beyond the gallery walls; 40 per cent of the work is outside.
The more design-related elements of the show certainly do deserve to be seen in places such as Baltic, but these should not dominate a show which defines itself by association with the genuinely anarchic - and, in terms of audience figures, reliably attractive - art of the street.
