Independent Artists Community

Colchester, and its surroundings, is a very creative area with some amazing venues to exhibit a diversity of Arts. However, it seems that the same few groups of artists get the chance to show their work on a regular basis. These groups often charge a joining up fee and can often make the Colchester art scene feel rather cliquey, making it difficult for any outsiders to break through.

​

The Independent Artists Community is an open group set up to give all local artists an opportunity to share and exhibit their work in a united, fair and friendly way. Sculptors, painters, analogue photographers, digital artists and all other types of artists are all welcome to join the Independent Artists Community (free of charge) and help the local creativity thrive.

​

By all working together and sharing each other's work through different ways, we will be able to get more exposure and hopefully open the doors of some of our best local venues. The work you submit and share will get exposure over Twitter, Facebook and Instagram for thousands of people to see. On a regular basis, we also plan to organise exhibitions, which will include the work that has been the most liked online and also pieces based on feedback and discussions within the I.A.C.

​

It's simple; Every artists get the same coverage and the same opportunity.

​

Let our voices be heard and let our creativity be seen!
