Please make a donation to help keep the Minories open. It is a fantastic and much loved art gallery.
It is the kind of place you would really like if you have never been there. It is a building full of great memories of past exhibitions, and future possibilities.
The Minories has an extraordinary, and special place in the cultural life of Colchester anchored firmly in the visual heritage of East Anglia,
but also a place of experimentation, innovation and invention supporting and developing the economy of artists in the region.
The Victor Batte-Lay Foundation is a small charity but we have ambitious plans for an exciting, secure and sustainable future for The Minories and need to raise funds to keep the transformation process going.
We would love it if you felt able to make a donation of whatever size to enable us to develop the future of The Minories.
We were deeply saddened by its closure. We have been overwhelmed and heartened by messages and offers of support.
But now it is time to turn that sentiment into action. Do please donate now! Thank you in advance.
