the Bluecoat.
The Bluecoat is Liverpool city centre's oldest building and the oldest combined arts venue of its kind in the UK. The Bluecoat presents a year-round programme of contemporary visual art, live art, music, dance and literature. Following a multi-award winning £14.5m redevelopment, the Bluecoat reopened in early 2008 to build on its reputation for presenting emerging local, national and international talent alongside established artists.
The Bluecoat is also home to over 30 artists and creative industry businesses who inhabit its studios and office spaces, making this iconic building a vibrant living creative hub.
Participation is at the heart of the organisation, and its pioneering participation programme connects local communities and artists to create work across art forms, and provide new opportunities for people to engage with their own creativity.
