ABOUT THE FAIR
COLLECT SHINES A As one of the leading global platforms
for bringing museum quality works
SPOTLIGHT ON NEW to a wide audience, Collect focuses
on quality, exclusivity, reputation and
CONTEMPORARY curation. It seeks variety and diversity
in its content and vision.
WORKS FROM ARTISTS
WORKING TODAY. Works span many craft disciplines
including ceramics, glass, lacquer, art
jewellery, precious metalwork, textiles
and fibre, wood and paper to works
using non-traditional materials including
resin and bone.
The Fair’s strength and agency
has been to showcase a quality of
collectable contemporary craft from an
ever-increasing range of global nations.
Exhibiting galleries commit to over
80% of the work for display having
been made in the past five years.
Many commission new works to
launch at the Fair to maximise this
moment for contemporary craft.
This keeps the Fair fresh and
introduces new work onto the market,
allowing collectors visiting the Fair to
buy with confidence.
Exhibiting galleries at Collect are invited
to carefully curate a selection of artists
to complement the stunning grandeur

COLLECT RETURNS
TO SOMERSET HOUSE
A SAFE AND CELEBRATORY ENVIRONMENT.
In 2020, Somerset House saw
exhibitors curate their displays in
dialogue with the architectural details
of the exquisite neoclassical spaces.
The mixture of grandeur and intimacy,
the fireplaces, the wooden floors and
the varying natural light throughout
the days of the Fair is a pleasure we
look forward to revisiting again.
The presentation of leading
contemporary objects in historic
buildings is what sets Collect apart.
It first launched at the Victoria &
Albert Museum and then spent a
decade in the prestigious Saatchi
Gallery in Chelsea before moving to
its new home at Somerset House.
Somerset House, is a leading cultural
venue in central London, perfectly
placed for access from The City, The
West End and across the capital.
Like any large-scale event, Collect
will adapt to ensure a comfortable,
safe and enjoyable environment
is achieved for our visiting guests,
community of galleries and Fair
partners. The Crafts Council will
monitor government guidelines and
work closely with Somerset House
and key health and safety
consultants throughout.
