Collect: The International Art Fair for Contemporary Objects is about more than admiring and acquiring exceptional artwork from hundreds of the world’s most talented makers; it’s also an opportunity to explore and engage with some of the most intriguing ideas and personal stories in modern-day craft practice. Taking place on three days of the fair, the Collect Talks programme brings together leading craft thought leaders, gallerists, historians, critics, collectors and craft artists to examine the issues influencing the makers and markets driving contemporary craft, looking to both past and future to identify what making means today – and where it is heading.
Featuring a number of the exhibiting artists and galleries, the programme complements and enriches the work on show in the main body of the fair and the special displays: Collect Open, Collect Spotlights and Masters of British Studio Pottery.
