Judges narrowed down the five shortlisted makers from a selection of over 400 artists displaying at the upcoming 19th edition of Collect, the leading international fair for contemporary design and craft.
The winning maker will be announced during a ceremony at the fair and will receive a prize package equivalent to £60 000, including a solo exhibition curated by the Crafts Council and displayed across two Brookfield Properties’ London locations this summer.
“As a leading global developer of real estate, Brookfield Properties believes in the unique ability of art and culture to transform spaces and bring people together and provide inspiration. That is why we are proud to sponsor this award for the fourth year to spotlight the best and brightest of British craft talent” – Saff Williams, Brookfield Properties’ Curatorial Director, Europe.
This year’s awarded maker will join past winners Matt Smith (Cynthia Corbett Gallery) in 2020, Anna Ray (House on Mars) in 2021, and Christian Ovonlen (Intoart) in 2022. Their selected piece will be generously acquired by Brookfield Properties for the Crafts Council Collection, which comprises over 1,700 works
