During each session, several Colchester Art Society artists will be spending time in the exhibition space, giving visitors the chance to ask questions, learn more about their work, or simply enjoy an informal chat with some of the artists behind the Colchester Art Society at 80 exhibition.

Holiday Fun creative activities will also be taking place on the same day, inspired by the exhibition and designed for younger visitors. Together, these activities make it a welcoming and inclusive day for families, art lovers and anyone curious to learn more about the artists and their work.
