Baltic Open Submission Exhibition 2024 in association with Fenwick is now open. Last Friday, we celebrated over 100 creatives from the North East with an exclusive artwork by Newcastle-born @jimmyturrell projected onto Baltic and turned the Gateshead Millennium Bridge Fenwick green. Fenwick has always had a strong affinity with art. We have used art as a way to tell the story of our brand for over a century. The Baltic plays a role in the North East as a ‘meeting place, a site for connections between artists and the public’ just as we at Fenwick are proud of the role we play at the heart of communities. Leo Fenwick, Strategic Partnerships Director at Fenwick “Supporting talent has always been a part of our DNA at Fenwick with art and creativity being something our customers are truly passionate about. This exhibition is a celebration of and testimony to the sheer breadth of creative talent in the region and we are so honoured to be partnering with Baltic.” The exhibition is free entry and runs until 1st September. Why not pop into one of our restaurants for lunch and then enjoy the beautiful walk through the city over the Gateshead Millennium Bridge to visit the exhibition.
