After a significant re-development in 2008, Bluecoat now houses four galleries, a creative community of artists and businesses and runs a participation programme with local communities. Since the refurbishment, this programme has included Blue Room, an inclusive arts project for adults with learning disabilities (video to the left). This has since expanded to include Out of the Blue, a project whereby Blue Room artists support after school clubs for local children across the city. Key staff on this study include Bec Fearon Head of Engagement, who been instrumental in the development of Blue Room and Out of the Blue, and has supervised this PhD study.
