Curious about who we are and what we do?
Hear directly from Alena as she shares the core mission behind Abandoned Artists and how we support our creative community of displaced and migrant artists.

This new studio, based in a disused kitchen at Edinburgh’s Gyle Centre, has given artists a new studio space.

Our launch party and Portable Dreams were not just an event, they were a statement. We showed our commitment to supporting displaced artists beyond survival. We are here to help them grow, create, and be seen. 

This video tells a story about our year long collaborative project 'a special gift for an ordinary day' with Scottish Design Exchange. This collaboration helped us to test our artists' creations in a gift format to be availible for purchase in Edinburgh, Scotland.
