The exhibition explores play, collaboration and materials. Featuring large, tactile sculptural objects and colourful assemblages, everything in the space is interactive. Lively, exciting and curiosity-filled, Play Interact Explore is designed to support and encourage taking part in different ways to create sculptures, take photographs, move things around, rock, roll, stack and play. Find out more here.

Our latest pop-up shop Happy Mart is a collaboration between textile artist Bianco Perry and ceramicist Alex Sickling. Located on Ground Floor opposite Baltic Shop, Happy Mart brings together a playful mix of gifts and handmade decorative pieces to buy and make your home a little happier. Their work, all of it available to purchase, is inspired by finding humour in the everyday, being out in nature, hugging the dog and eating a Greggs together.
