Firstsite Colchester

Firstsite is a visual arts organisation founded in 1994 exhibiting both established and emerging artists. Based in Colchester, the crescent shaped building which appears to weave around the natural landscape, reflecting light on its shimmering copper-aluminium cladded exterior is the vision of the design competition winner Uruguayan architect Rafael Vinoly. Through its extensive programme of exhibitions, events, screenings and workshops, Firstsite aims to make contemporary art accessible to all.
