The Year That Was is an end of year celebration of the exhibitions and public artworks shown at the Bluecoat in 2024.

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.

The end of year display is 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 Bluecoat 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.

📅 Tuesday 3rd – Saturday 21st December

⏱ 11am – 5pm
