OPEN CALL: Collect Art Fair 2025

Applications for Collect Art Fair 2025 are now open! Collect is the premier event for contemporary craft and design and the 2025 edition  is set to take place from 28 February to 2 March, with previews on 26 and 27 February, at Somerset House in London, UK. 

Collect provides a unique opportunity for independent artists to showcase their work alongside specialist galleries. This event attracts collectors, curators, journalists, and other professionals from both the UK and international sectors, offering unparalleled exposure for participating artists. We encourage proposals for ambitious, conceptual, craft-led installations or artworks.

The deadline to apply is Monday 24 June at 9.00 AM. An advisory panel will review the submissions in August and then all the successful applicants will be notified by September.

To assist with the application process, an informal Q&A session was hosted on Thursday, 30 May. This session, led by the Collect team and featuring Divya Sharma, a participant from Collect 2024, provided valuable insights and answered attendees’ questions. A recording of the Q&A, complete with captions, is available at this link.

If you are interested in exhibiting at Collect 2025, please reach out via email at collect@craftscouncil.org.uk. Applications for galleries, dealers, and collectives will open in June 2024.
