The Blackie

Great Georges Community

Cultural Project

 

 

The Blackie (Great Georges Community Cultural Project) is a community arts venue housed in a former Congregational Church, an architectural landmark in the heart of Liverpool’s Chinatown. It was established in 1968 as Britain’s first community arts project and hosts playgroups, community groups, and a cultural programme of arts workshops, youth projects, residencies, performances and exhibitions with the emphasis on cultural diversity and shared experience. It is open 362 days a year from 10am - midnight. Games – artist-led, multi-culturally inspired and disabled-friendly – have been played at the Blackie since it began.
