About This Event

Foundation Press: Starting Lines is a free, interactive installation at BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art that explores creativity, collaboration and community through the work of North East-based artists. It runs throughout the summer, on display until 30 August 2026. The project invites visitors of all ages to engage directly with print, making and shared creative activity, reflecting BALTIC's commitment to platforming regional talent and hands-on participation. It is a good fit for families looking for a free, indoor activity during the school holidays. Entry is free, and the installation complements BALTIC's wider summer exhibition programme on the Gateshead Quayside.
