Networking at The Minories
May 12 @ 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm
£25.00 – £30.00
Join us for an inspiring and unique business networking event at The Minories, an iconic and historic gallery in the heart of Colchester. Housed in a Georgian townhouse with a rich artistic heritage, The Minories has long been a cultural hub where art, history, and community come together.
You will hear from Director, Emma Howe, about how The Minories bridges the worlds of art and business, with insights into the venue’s history, its role in the community, and its current exhibition, setting the stage for the guided tours.
You will also hear about the upcoming exhibition, Out of Line: Banksy and the Art of Dissent, a major co-produced showcase exploring the work and cultural impact of Banksy. This highly anticipated exhibition reflects the gallery’s ambitious and collaborative approach, positioning it at the forefront of engaging, socially relevant programming.
Guided tours of the gallery will be available, with the exhibiting artist, Charlotte Bernays, discussing her current work and sharing the inspiration behind their exhibition. Guests will have the opportunity to ask questions, engage with the artist, and explore the gallery’s historic architecture and curated spaces. Networking and refreshments will continue throughout, creating a dynamic environment for conversation, collaboration, and connection.
