Collect 2026

Collect, presented by Crafts Council, is the only annual art fair on the UK and international circuit dedicated to museum-quality contemporary craft and design.

Featuring up to 40 specialist galleries from across the globe, Collect provides an unrivalled opportunity to invest in contemporary work from some of the most skilful artists of our time.

Exquisite works include ceramics, furniture, glass, jewellery, wearable art, metalwork, sculpture and textiles. Made from a broad range of materials, each piece is carefully made by the hand, with a rich narrative to tell.

For seasoned collectors, prices range from £50,000 to as little as £500, encouraging those who are starting out on their collecting journeys and looking for stand out art for their homes.

Showcasing as part of Collect is Collect Open, the fair’s platform for bold, craft-led installations by individual artists and collectives. Selected by an expert advisory panel, 11 individual artists will take their creative practices to the next level challenging material, social, political or personal perceptions.

Additionally, Collect will play host to an engaging talks programme, offering visitors a chance to hear from galleries, artists and leading experts in art, craft and design. Entry to the talks is free.
