Presented annually by the UK’s Crafts Council, Collect returns for its 21st edition as the leading art fair for collectable contemporary craft and design, taking place at London’s landmark destination Somerset House from 28 February to 2 March 2025 (previews on 26 and 27 February).
About
Recognised as an unmissable event at the forefront of the contemporary craft movement, Collect 2025 will bring together an expertly curated line-up of 40 specialist galleries from across the globe, featuring over 400 living artists selected by a specialist advisory panel – hailing from over 30 countries including South Korea, Japan, Ukraine, South Africa, Greece, Canada, the UK and many more.
With exquisite works created in the last five years – and many especially commissioned for the fair – collectors, interior designers, architects, art advisors and wider enthusiasts, will be vying with arts institutions, such as the Victoria & Albert Museum, to buy, commission and invest in the very best in contemporary craft. As well as the seasoned collectors buying at the luxury end of the market with pieces spanning up to £50,000+, Collect encourages visitors at the beginning of their collecting journey with works starting at £500.
The range of disciplines and materials at Collect spreads widely including ceramics, glass, lacquer, furniture, art jewellery, metalwork, textile and fibre, wood and paper, and pieces embracing more unusual materials such as resin, beeswax, denim and plastics as well as reused and repurposed materials – all set against the stunning backdrop of the neo-classical design of Somerset House.
