Go See: Collect 2026
Deadline: 16 January
Description
Craft Scotland is offering a small number of fully-funded bursaries to provide Scotland-based craft professionals with the opportunity to visit Collect Art Fair 2026 in London. The bursaries will support craft professionals to benefit from first-hand insight into the scale and professional standards of this major international Fair.
A Go See bursary offers an opportunity to explore the range of contemporary craft on show, observe how exhibitors present and price their work, and assess the fair’s market trends and commercial potential.
Go See bursaries are available to Scotland-based craft professionals including:
- Professional Makers
- Freelance curators
- Owners or staff at independent galleries
- Producers e.g. organisers of regular craft selling events
Who cannot apply:
- Curators working in publicly owned museums or galleries (If you are working 0.6 FTE (3 days per week) or fewer you may be eligible if you can explain how this would benefit the sector more widely through your other work)
- Those who have participated in Collect within the last three years, either with Craft Scotland or another gallery
- Students studying a craft discipline or related field
The bursary will cover costs including travel, accommodation and Collect Fair entry tickets. If you have any access needs that incur additional costs, please do let us know how we can best support you.
Collect 2026 runs from 26 February - 1 March 2026.
Go See will cover the dates Friday 27 and Saturday 28 February.
