Documentary Project - idea

Zach, Robbie and Chris, researched places of public interest around Liverpool. Zach then emailed many of the places, one of them being The BlueCoat Gallery. Chris Zach and myself have all visited BlueCoat before and we found it very interesting.




Zach had a reply from the director of the BlueCoat display center and this is what she said.
Dear Zach, 
 Thank you for your request - we are rather cramped for space and unfortunately we are changing exhibitions next week so quite busy. There is a garden outside and a large art centre, so you probably could do some around the building - check with tickets and information at the bluecoat - if you were just using very compact equipment and there was just one or two of you, we might be able to squeeze you in for 30 minutes or so, but be warned, any breakages would have to be paid for! 
 Many thanks and good luck with your exercise, 
 kind regards, 
 Maureen BamptonDirector"

Information about BlueCoat

Charitable Aims

The Bluecoat Display Centre is a registered charity within Arts and Culture.
The objectives are:
1. Raising the public’s aesthetic appreciation in applied art and design; and
2. The provision of educational lectures, workshops and exhibitions at the Bluecoat Display Centre, Liverpool or at such other premises as the charity may from time to time occupy.
The Bluecoat Display Centre’s mission is to promote excellence in design and workmanship within the contemporary applied arts both nationally and internationally. We aim to increase the publics awareness and appreciation for the work of leading and emerging artists through exhibition, education, display and sale, and consequently to support the contemporary craft infrastructure.
Bluecoat Display Centre welcomes enquiries from organisations regarding charitable giving who empathise with these objects, and has many sponsorship opportunities connected to the exhibition and workshop programme.

History

The Bluecoat Display Centre originated as one of this country's earliest craft galleries in 1959. The founder of the Display Centre; Robert Gardner-Medwin, Professor of Architecture at Liverpool University, aimed to promote and display the work of leading designers of the time from a large studio in the Bluecoat Chambers. His ethos continues today, as a non profit distributing organisation promoting the finest contemporary craftwork by leading designer/makers.
Gardner-Medwin intended the work shown at the Display Centre to enhance good architecture and interior design and today we find we are still the place that leading professionals involved in Liverpool’s renaissance visit to achieve this.

What they do

The Bluecoat Display Centre is Liverpool’s only independent contemporary craft gallery. Since it was established in 1959, the Display Centre has been recognised nationally and internationally as one of the UK’s leading galleries specialising in contemporary applied arts, showing and selling some of the finest work made by professional craftspeople from the North West, across the British Isles and beyond.
Display Centre Director, Maureen Bampton and her team, continually endeavour to present new and challenging work and an annual series of changing exhibitions in a setting that is welcoming
and inspiring. The creative programme is supported by a series of artist-led workshop and talks, often by artists and makers who exhibit in the gallery.

Location

The Bluecoat Display Centre is situated in the heart of Liverpool City Centre, neighbouring the newly regenerated Liverpool One area. We are surrounded by a wealth of galleries and shops, restaurants and cafes, as well as convenient parking and public transport links.
