WE

THE

U N F A M I L I A R S

Back in the dying days of 2017 a rag tag group of creators banded together to celebrate and disseminate the wonderful work being made in and around Colchester. 

​

Our first edition came into being in February 2018 and the collective has now ebbed and flowed through 10 editions. 

​

This growing family has been built with an ethos of generosity and creative bravery, on the foundation of skill shares, donated time, enthusiasm and good will.

​

From these ingredients we provide curated events and a gorgeous arts zine tailored to chosen themes. Here you can witness and contribute to a huge variety of wonderful things. 

​

We don't make a profit, rather we use the proceeds we raise purely to grow the platform and provide ever increasing opportunities to creative souls in any medium with fresh ideas to explore. 

​

It is a labour of love and of boundless curiosity where we aim to create a welcoming, safe, fun (and eventually self sustaining) environment for creatives at any stage of their careers to experiment and play with their practice, make new links and ultimately share their knowledge to the benefit of the nurturing creative community we look to accumulate around our sigil.

​

May your days be filled with acts of bravery, creativity and generosity.
