About Baltic

Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art creates and produces exhibitions, activities and opportunities that explore understanding of the world through diverse contemporary art by artists from across the world. Located on Gateshead quayside, we have 2,600 square metres of exhibition space dedicated to the art and artists of today and tomorrow.

We welcome visitors free of charge, all year round to experience art, talks, performance and activities in an accessible building. We anticipate welcoming our 10 millionth visitor in 2025. Beyond our bricks, we connect and exchange in an on-going basis with our local communities, individuals and groups exploring creativity, social connections and shared hospitality.

In early 2022 we became the first Gallery of Sanctuary in England, in recognition of our work to support forced migration communities in the North East.

About the Role

Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art is seeking a passionate and experienced Young People’s Producer to join our Learning Team who will help shape our vision for youth led programming over the next 12 months. This role comes at an exciting time for Baltic, as we develop new strategies to address inequity for young people within education and in the creative sector unlocking creativity as a skill in all areas of life. The role is initially recruited as fixed term, with ambition to extend.

You will lead on delivering our current youth programmes: Baltic Young Producers, a collective of young people who lead and create and deliver exhibitions, workshops and events at Baltic, and ArtMix, weekly artist-led workshops to inspire the next generation of creatives in the North East. You will also initiate new programming strands for young people aged 13-19, build effective relationships with a range of partners to make a transformational impact on the lives of young people through engaging with contemporary art and creative culture.
