A spokesman for the fair said: All work displayed will be for available to buy directly from the artists and there promises to be something for everyone's taste and purse. If you are a new homeowner in the area, interested in discovering art or are looking for something special for someone, then don't miss this opportunity and make sure you get to The Secret Art Fair early.
"The organisers chose The Minories as it is a renowned art gallery and cultural space with a 60-year history in delivering art exhibitions and events as well as having an established and loyal following and being located in Colchester's established Cultural Quarter next to First Site Gallery and the newly opened Curzon Cinema."
The Secret Art Fair is part of a wider project called The Secret Art Society recently launched by We Create Projects Ltd which will bring art shows, exhibitions and fairs to towns and villages across East Anglia.
