This year, DCCI is delighted to announce that 14 artists and makers will represent Ireland at Collect, the leading international fair for contemporary craft and design.
Collect offers collectors an opportunity to acquire new, museum-quality handcrafted artworks from some of this century’s finest craft talent.
It is a tremendous mark of recognition to have such a significant representation of Ireland on this expansive international stage, showcasing some of our talented craftspeople.
Presented by the Crafts Council UK and held in Somerset House, London; Collect is the leading international art fair for contemporary craft and design.
Collect offers a unique platform for these artists to connect with an international audience, reinforcing the importance of Irish craftsmanship within the global cultural landscape.
