Coach Trips to The Baltic Centre
Burnside Coaches can take passengers on a coach trip to the BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art.
BALTIC, the major new international centre for contemporary art, opened on Saturday 13 July 2002. Situated on the South bank of the river Tyne in Gateshead, in the north of England, BALTIC lies right at the heart of the regeneration of Gateshead Quays.
With no permanent collection, a programme that places a heavy emphasis on commissions, invitations to artists and the work of artists-in-residence, BALTIC is a new breed of public art space, an Art Factory. BALTIC presents a constantly changing programme of exhibitions and events.
The original industrial brick building has been redesigned to accommodate 3000sqm of arts space (five galleries), artists' studios, cinema/lecture space, media lab, a library and archive for the study of contemporary art (opening late 2002) and a retail outlet. There are also three different food and drink spaces at BALTIC, including the Rooftop Restaurant with amazing views of Tyneside.
