Celebrating 20 years

We’re turning 20! This year we’re celebrating 20 years since we first opened our doors in 2002. In the run-up to our 20th Birthday Weekend celebrations on 16 & 17 July, we're sharing stories of BALTIC’s past, present and future with updates throughout each month.

We’d love to hear your memories of BALTIC. Share your stories, images and videos including the hashtag #Baltic20 on social media.
