“If you’d never been to a gallery before and you walked into the Bluecoat this winter, you would almost definitely leave thinking the art world was a safe space for you and (hopefully) that you were part of it.”
Huge thanks to Art in Liverpool for the incredible review of our exhibition, which you can read here.
Stop by our Gallery this Christmas to experience our welcoming and interactive exhibition, featuring tactile artworks that can be touched, used, worn, and bought.
