The Event

Bluecoat is Liverpool’s centre for the contemporary arts and the oldest in the UK. It’s a Grade 1 Listed building located in the heart of the city centre, home to a year-round programme of exhibitions, music, dance, literature, live art and heritage events.

This is a central location which attracts both people interested in fine art and people who just want to shop for nice things. You can expect the audience at Bluecoat to have an understanding of different print methods such as etching, linocut, wood block, letterpress, and screen printing. This is thanks to Bluecoat Print Studio who are committed to promoting and facilitating the exploration of print.

At Bluecoat we have space for 38 stalls each day, which makes it an intimate and curated event. You can apply for a weekend space, or a single day if you can’t make it for both days.

In the run up to the event we have posters and flyers distributed throughout the city which attract a broad audience on the day. We also have plenty of regulars who visit the fair whenever it’s on, and many know a bit about different hands-on printmaking methods such as etching, linocut, wood block, letterpress, and screen printing.

Selection Criteria

First and foremost this event is a print fair and will be advertised as such to the public. The primary focus is unique and affordable art, so the majority products at the fair should be paper based art prints.

If you sell homeware and accessories alongside your prints as part of a collection, we’re happy for you to bring those along too. Products such as greetings cards or comics and zines are also very welcome at the fair.

Stalls are more likely to be offered to people who create work using hands-on printing methods over those who work solely in digital mediums. We’re also looking for sellers with unique contemporary prints who avoid over-saturated trends.

We also make sure spaces are offered to different artists each year to keep the event interesting for the public. It’s possible that you may not be selected this time around if you have sold at 2 or more of our most recent events.

Deadline to apply: 4 Feb 2024.
