Collect 2021 sponsors

Collect fair is incredibly grateful for the continued support of our sponsors.

This will be the fourth year of support from LOEWE FOUNDATION and we are delighted that they will be hosting a talk as part of our events programme this year; this is the second year that Brookfield Properties will select an artist from one of the Collect galleries for the Brookfield Properties Crafts Council Collection Award; and this is the third year that we are working in partnership with Cox London around the Collect VIP audience experience as well as hosting a Cox London talk for interior designers around craft and commissioning.

LOEWE FOUNDATION - Associate Supporter

The LOEWE FOUNDATION was established as a private cultural foundation in 1988 by Enrique Loewe, a fourth-generation member of LOEWE’s founding family. Today, the Foundation continues to promote creativity, organise educational programs and protect cultural heritage in the fields of craft, design, photography and poetry. The Foundation was awarded the Gold Medal for Merit in the Fine Arts by the Spanish government in 2002.

In 2016, the LOEWE FOUNDATION launched the international annual LOEWE FOUNDATION Craft Prize inspired by LOEWE’s beginnings as a craft cooperative in 1846, with the aim to acknowledge the importance of craft in today’s culture and to recognize artisans whose talent, vision and will to innovate will set a standard for the future. After being postponed in Spring 2020, the exhibition featuring the finalist works of the latest edition of the LOEWE FOUNDATION Craft Prize will be on show at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris in Spring 2021.

“Craft is always going to be modern. It is about creating objects that have a formula of their own and speak their own language, creating a dialogue that didn’t exist before. It is about newness as much as it is about tradition.” Jonathan Anderson, LOEWE Creative Director

Brookfield Properties - Award Partner

Brookfield Properties builds long term cultural partnerships by working with organisations and artists that offer a fresh perspective on built environments. The Crafts Council reflects the energy and creativity of craft, which aligns with the Brookfield Properties experience.

Brookfield Properties look forward to our second years’ partnership with Crafts Council, and the Brookfield Properties Crafts Council Collection Award. The winner of the award will exhibit at 99 Bishopsgate and Aldgate Tower in 2021. Central to the exhibition will be artworks acquired by Brookfield Properties as a gift for the Crafts Council Primary Collection.

“We are pleased to announce our continued partnership and collaboration with the Crafts Council through our Acquisition Award, which will be exhibited alongside a larger body of the winning artist's works in the summer of 2021. We were delighted to exhibit the talented Matt Smith, the inaugural recipient of the Brookfield Properties Crafts Council Collection Award this year and look forward to finding new emerging talent at Collect which will inspire and captivate audiences in 2021.”
