Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art

Our partnership with BALTIC has been in existence for several years..

Our partnership aims to evolve our ambition to achieve artistic and curatorial excellence, pedagogic sustainability and transformation, communities of people and practice, progressive social change and future thinking. There is a renewed focus and purpose for the partnership and its role in helping Northumbria staff, students and stakeholders address the key challenges of our time from place making to supporting social mobility and environmental change. 

Final year students on BA (Hons) Fine Art work with the Baltic’s technical and curatorial staff to exhibit their work to gallery audiences.  

The partnership develops new academic offers, contributes to the cultural sector, evidences the value and impact of contemporary art and supports research bidding and collaboration.
