Call for Applications: Collect Open 2019
Collect: The International Art Fair for Contemporary Objects is an annual fair presented by the Crafts Council. Collect Open offers a unique opportunity for individual makers and collectives to exhibit alongside international galleries showing at Collect.
It has been a rich addition to the fair since 2011 and encourages artists to show work which challenges traditional perceptions of craft and design. Introduced in 2011, Collect Open has built a reputation as the home of some of the biggest and boldest installations exhibited at Collect.
Individual Applications
Collect Open provides a unique opportunity to present the unexpected to an influential and high-profile audience. Each year the Crafts Council call for proposals from individuals and collectives to present large scale, conceptual, installation based work that fulfils the following criteria;
- New direction from the applicant / focusing on ambitious, challenging and risk taking work
- New body of work / first showing is mandatory
- Strong theming and curation by the applicant
