Collect is the leading international art fair for contemporary craft and design, bringing together specialist galleries from around the world.
Collect 2026 will take place between 27 February - 01 March (previews 25 & 26 Feb)
A highlight of the fair is Collect Open – an annual showcase open to independent artists and collectives, selected by an expert advisory panel. We welcome proposals for bold, craft-led installations or artworks that push boundaries and spark conversation.
Whether your proposal explores materiality in new ways, makes a powerful social or political statement, or reflects something deeply personal, it should represent a fresh and ambitious direction in your practice.
Collect Open offers an opportunity to exhibit alongside leading galleries at Somerset House, presenting your work to a global audience of museum curators, arts patrons, luxury and corporates, interior designers, architects, art advisers, art buyers and enthusiasts.
For full details on criteria, application process and fees, plus information about the new Collect Open bursaries, please read the below Application Guidance and Terms & Conditions documents carefully.
