Even with 100 artists, this is but a small, though significant, sample of the thousands of artists who have shown here. It aims to reflect something of Bluecoat\u2019s curatorial interests and distinctive exhibition programming over this period.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thebluecoat.org.uk\">www.thebluecoat.org.uk<\/a> to learn more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To celebrate their 300th anniversary, Liverpool\u2019s Bluecoat contemporary arts centre is hosting a special exhibition from 4th February, featuring 100 of their alumni artists of disciplines from music and dance, to literature and, of course, photography \u2013 including the debut of a new series by John Akomfrah.
