Applications for Collect Open 2027 are now open.

 

Collect Open invites artists, makers and designers to present ambitious new work at Collect, the art fair for contemporary craft and collectible design. A platform for experimentation, discovery and critical recognition, the programme offers participating artists the opportunity to connect with collectors, curators, institutions and new audiences from across the world.

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.

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 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.

Collect 2027 will be held at Somerset House, London, 24–28 February 2027. Submissions close on 21st June. Learn more and apply here.
