Collect is the the art fair for contemporary craft and collectible design, bringing together specialist galleries from around the world.

Collect 2027 will take place between 26 - 28 February (previews 24 & 25 Feb).

Collect Open is the fair's annual showcase of 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.

Collect Open offers a rare 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.
