A little bit about Blott

Blott has played an active role in the community in a number of ways, primarily supporting and helping recent graduates and established artists alike to develop their careers through its membership scheme. It allows members a level of spontaneity to expand their ideas without the pressures imposed by a more commercially driven venture.  With close links to Blackpool’s newly developed university, Lancaster University, and the University of Central Lancashire, Blott studios regularly provides placements  and student internships  for BA and MA students in the North West who are involved in the arts, making it possible for students to fulfil their course criteria.

Membership subscriptions and private sponsorship continue to help fund exhibitions, administration and running costs etc.  Despite many necessary changes, Blott’s mission remains the same; to further enrich and encourage cultural growth in Blackpool.
