New venue for 2027: Shoreditch Tab Centre, E2
Future Icons Selects, Art & Craft Fair
As Future Icons Selects continues to expand its curated platform for artisans and visitors alike, we wanted to mark our fifth edition with an exceptional new setting: the Shoreditch Tab Centre (3 Godfrey Place, London E2).
A Grade II listed landmark, the Tab Centre was originally constructed as the Sunday school hall for the Victorian Shoreditch Tabernacle. Having survived wartime bombing, it operates today as both a charitable community hub and an architectural event space. We feel privileged to present leading contemporary craft collections in such an airy, light-filled venue.
2027 is a special year for us, not only do we celebrate the fifth edition of the widely acclaimed Future Icons Selects, we are also celebrating the tenth anniversary of Future Icons; the parent company to the show. We are currently devising some special plans including a showcase of artisans Future Icons has supported over the last decade and a VIP party too. More information about this will be announced soon.
What We Are Looking For
If your work incorporates a handmade element, we want to hear from you. While we traditionally showcase collections on plinths, walls, and dedicated floor areas, this space opens up new possibilities for site-specific installations and interactive experiences. We welcome your most ambitious, creative concepts for this anniversary year.
Available spatial features include high ceilings, private breakout rooms, display cabinets, and a landscaped courtyard garden—with potential access to the adjacent Church. (Please note: proposals involving suspended installations in the main hall or access to the garden and Church require prior approval from the trustees and will incur additional fees.)
Selection & Capacity
Space is strictly limited. We aim to feature at least 40 artisans, carefully curating the environment to give each piece breathing room and provide an inspiring, unhurried visitor experience
