COLLECT ART FAIR: VIP PREVIEW AND TALK | Somerset House

In partnership with The Dura Society, Collect Fair invited a select group to access the VIP Private View of this year’s fair at Somerset House. We were treated to a champagne reception and introduction talk given by the fair director, Isobel Dennis.

The annual showcase, produced by the U.K.’s Crafts Council and supported by the LOEWE FOUNDATION, offers exclusive, thoughtfully curated work by panel-selected galleries and their talented, commissioned artists.
