Become a Baltic artist and help build our All‑Together Artwork. Create your initial in your own way - a swirl, a scribble, a bold line or a tiny pattern - and add it to the display. Your letter will join everyone else’s to form a growing artwork that will be exhibited here all week. Every mark counts!


This May half-term, bring the whole family along to Baltic to Make Your Mark - a playful, hands-on exploration of drawing and mark-making inspired by current exhibition . An evolving programme of artist-led workshops and participatory activities that celebrate movement, experimentation and collaboration.
