Profile

The A Foundation, a Registered Charity, was established by James Moores in 1998. The primary purpose of the Foundation is to support the development, production and exhibition of contemporary visual art and, in particular, to focus on the enrichment and regeneration of Liverpool through culture and the arts.

The Foundation was the vehicle through which James Moores established the Liverpool Biennial of Contemporary Art , the first and now the largest visual arts festival in the UK; in 2006, it attracted over 300,000 visitors to the city. The Biennial played no small part in Liverpool being awarded European Capital of Culture 2008.

A Foundation has recently consolidated and extended its operations. In 2006, it launched

Greenland Street

, an arts centre located in the Old Port area of Liverpool. This comprises three former industrial buildings: The Coach Shed, The Furnace and The Blade Factory, which together offer 2500sqm of exhibition space. The Foundation has created a welcoming arts centre, which includes a café and bookshop specialising in artists' books.
