The Cultural Enterprises Conference and Trade Show has featured in Design-Nation’s calendar of events since 2019 and we’re excited to be showcasing 10 fantastic designer makers at the 2026 show. It takes place at ICC Birmingham, 9-11 February.
Spanning a range of craft disciplines including textiles, jewellery, ceramics and print, our exhibitors are looking forward to presenting their work to an audience of heritage and cultural venues. The exhibitors are:
Amalia Sanchez De La Blanca – Linescapes
Berni Raeside – Detta Knitwear
Penny Maltby – The Ministry of Straw
Elena Branch – Elena Drew This
Cheyenne Chew Siegel – Losa Lou Ceramics
The Association for Cultural Enterprises is the only charity and trade body for the arts, heritage and cultural sector that brings together learning, experience and best practice, representing over 1,650 sites across the UK and beyond.
The Conference features over 40 talks from speakers across the cultural sector, plus opportunities to make new contacts through networking sessions. The Trade Show is an integral feature of the Conference and allows delegates to source new products for their venues from the creative businesses in attendance. Design-Nation is honoured to collaborate with Cultural Enterprises to present a designer maker showcase to conference delegates.
