We are Colchester’s oldest art gallery and so much more. 

Our historically significant building features a tranquil garden and an extraordinary art collection, all supported by a passionate team of staff and volunteers. We are dedicated to creating a welcoming space where artists and creative minds can connect and thrive. 

As a hub for artists, makers, and community groups, we strengthen Colchester’s creative industries. Our gallery serves as an incubator for new ideas, allowing audiences and artists to explore without judgment. 

We're actively diversifying our art collection to reflect our communities and ensuring everyone has a voice. 

Ultimately, we aim to foster a more connected Colchester where creativity can flourish.
