Blue Room @ The Bluecoat

Inclusive arts project for learning disabled and neurodivergent adults.

Since the project began in 2008, Bluecoat has supported Blue Room members to explore contemporary arts and heritage, and to create and share their own work.

We support a growing membership of over 40 artists to access full day inclusive arts sessions each week. Members develop creative and social skills, building confidence and greater independence. Through our studio programme, we are supporting Blue Room members to develop their own practice as visual and dance artists through mentoring and skills development. Membership of Blue Room has also led to supported volunteering opportunities with Out of the Blue, our programme of after school art clubs in local primary schools.
