In 2024, the Bluecoat received support from the National Lottery Heritage Fund to deliver a pilot Young Blue Room project in which we supported young learning disabled and neurodivergent people to engage with the heritage of our building and arts centre. Working with partners including Sandfield Park School, we held a series of creative projects exploring the history of the Bluecoat as an arts centre. The young artists developed creative skills such as drawing, printmaking and animation and their work was shared with visitors in public exhibitions and events.
Join Young Blue Room
We are now seeking expressions of interest from young people who may wish to become the Blue Room artists of the future. If you or someone you support loves being creative, wants to explore their potential and meet new friends get in touch to find out more.
