Baltic Art Center was founded in autumn 1999 by international institutions for contemporary art within the Baltic Sea region. This development started in June 1993, when the "Baltic Sculpture" exhibition was opened on Gotland, along with the Baltic Center for Writers and Translators. This generated the idea of establishing a Baltic Art Center with international guest studios. The Municipality of Gotland acquired the Björkander Warehouse to house the proposed Art Center, where visiting artists will find the necessary conditions for concentrated work, which should maintain a high level of quality in an international perspective.
