Tue 3 – Sat 21 Dec, 11am-5pm
The Year That Was is an end of year celebration of the exhibitions and public artworks shown at the Bluecoat in 2024. The exhibition features limited edition prints, posters and original artworks from our gallery programme and cultural legacies programme. Throughout December, the Bluecoat will transform into a space where visitors can not only see art but buy it to enjoy in their homes or gift to friends and family.
Our main display features artists such as Michelle Williams-Gamaker, Roxy Topia and Paddy Gould, Babak Ganjei, Tess Gilmartin, Joshua Clague and more. Our end of year display is also an opportunity to reflect back on a year that has explored who artists are, how the future will be shaped, and how we might connect with our histories.
Each weekend of December our galleries will be transformed into a bustling marketplace, beginning with Bluecoat Art Fair which will host stalls from Bluecoat’s creative community, print studio members and beyond. Later in the month, Bloom Makers Market and still Out-of-Print book fair will bring their fairs to the space.
Free entry.
