Deadline for applications: 21 June 2026
Collect Open 2027, the Collect fair’s platform for pioneering craft installations, invites independent artists and collectives to submit bold, original installation proposals that push boundaries and spark conversation. Selected by an expert advisory panel, successful projects will be showcased among leading galleries at Somerset House, presenting work to a global audience of museum curators, arts patrons, interior designers, architects, and collectors.
The deadline to apply is Sunday, 21 June 2026. To help address financial barriers, three Collect Open bursaries are available for UK based artists.
Collect 2027, organised by the ECA member Crafts Council UK, will take place between 26 February and 28 February 2027.
