Support Us

The Bluecoat is a home for creative potential, where art and people meet. Our purpose is to create new and more meaningful ways to experience art. For artists and for everyone, we bring art into life, and we know how transformative art can be.

Many of the people we work with face significant barriers to experiencing art and getting creative. Our goal is to break down those barriers. Can you help us make a difference?

Join us

As a registered charity, Bluecoat relies on the generosity of its supporters to keep our exhibitions free to enter, 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.
