Support Us
At Bluecoat, we rely on our café spaces, gallery and programme of wide-ranging events to generate income and help people find a meaningful place for the arts in their lives.
As a registered charity, Bluecoat relies on the generosity of its supporters to keep our exhibitions free to enter, ensuring we reach those who are least likely to experience arts and culture.
With the closure of our building due to Covid-19, our events were cancelled, our cafe and Bistro closed, meaning our income was almost completely halted for four months. As you can imagine, this unplanned closure has been especially difficult for Bluecoat. So now more than ever, we need your help.
With your help, we can continue to support new and emerging artists, engage people from all walks of life with the arts through our exciting participation programme, and maintain our beautiful building, the oldest in Liverpool's city centre. Donate now.
