Bluecoat Patron

Do you love to visit our free exhibitions? Have you spent lots of time relaxing with a coffee in our peaceful garden, or do you bring your children to our free family events?

Whether you’re an artist or an arts lover, the Bluecoat is for everybody. As a charity, we need your support in order to stay inclusive, accessible, and inspirational for all. If you love spending time here, consider becoming a Patron of the Bluecoat.

Many of the people we work with face significant barriers to experiencing art and getting creative. Our goal is to break down those barriers. Can you make a difference today?

• Behind-the-scenes experiences just for Patrons, such as private tours with the curators and meet-the-artists opportunities.
• Acknowledgement of your support displayed in the building.
• Further acknowledgement in our Annual Reporting and website.
• Priority access to artworks for sale.

You'll also receive all these Member benefits:
