Collect returns for its 21st edition, presented by the UK's Crafts Council, and will be held at Somerset House in London from 28 February to 2 March 2025, with previews on 26 and 27 February. 

Recognised as a leading fair for collectible contemporary craft and design, the Collect Art Fair brings together an exceptional array of creative works. The event will feature 40 specialist galleries curated from around the globe. Over 400 living artists have been selected by a dedicated advisory panel, representing more than 30 countries including South Korea, Japan, Ukraine, South Africa, Greece, Canada, and the UK.

The fair showcases pieces produced in the last five years, many of which have been commissioned exclusively for the event. It attracts a diverse audience, from seasoned collectors to budding enthusiasts able to begin their collection with affordably-priced works. The range of disciplines on display spans ceramics, glass, lacquer, furniture, art jewellery, metalwork, textiles, wood, and paper, as well as innovative materials like resin, beeswax, denim, and repurposed elements, all set against the stunning neo-classical backdrop of Somerset House.
