WHO WE ARE
Art Gallery ¦ Creative Community Space
Located in Colchester's Cultural Quarter, The Minories has been in the hands of the Victor Batte-Lay Foundation, since 1956. Gifted with a collection of artworks from the late Clarence Victor Batte-Lay, the Foundation and the collection have grown and adapted throughout the years to showcase a variety of works from local artists. We aim to continue to embrace the creativity of the town and the communities within it.

WE ARE THE MINORIES
EXHIBITIONS AND EVENTS
FACULTY OF EVERYONE
The Faculty of Everyone is an open-access and targeted-session art school, in the spirit of the East Anglian School of Painting & Drawing that evolved from Benton End in the first half of the 20th Century.
We are facilitating community-led and participant-designed creative projects, which use art, gardening or food, so community groups, artists, gardeners, teachers, makers - indeed, everyone - please tell us:
What kind of art would you like to see and do?
When can you be involved?
How can we help?
ZINE MAKING WALKS & WORKSHOPS
Join us for after-dark storytelling and art walks that explores the folklore attached to selected British birds and invites you to look at some of Colchester’s favourite landmarks from a different perspective.
Learn how to make simple (but enchanting) zines! Expect magic, mystery and a chance to engage with the Born With It exhibition on a different level!
All materials provided. (1 hr easy walking with plenty of stops and flat terrain).
Dates TBA.
Run by artist, Gemma Garwood. Pay as you feel. Suggested donation, £5.
