Sanctus Stories

Expressing Ourselves For All To See: Art, Identity & Belonging

'Sanctus Stories' is a raw and authentic celebration of creativity from the heart of the Chelmsford community.

This powerful exhibition showcases artwork by individuals supported by Sanctus, a local charity working with people affected by homelessness and hardship. Visitors can expect an immersive and emotionally resonant experience, with pieces ranging from spray-painted panels and lino prints to found-object sculptures, collage, and mixed media.

The subjects are chosen entirely by the artists, resulting in deeply personal, thought-provoking, and diverse work. Expect to be challenged, inspired, and reminded of the power of creativity to connect and heal.

Have you heard about our Pay It Forward scheme? We give our visitors the option of purchasing an additional admission entry for someone else to use. Just ask at the till when you visit and we can add that on for you. These receipts are pinned on the noticeboard in the lobby by our front doors.

The Our Chelmsford Gallery is a space to celebrate Chelmsford's communities.
