Migrate Art uses the power of the art world to create social change. They develop highly creative fundraising projects with internationally renowned contemporary artists inspired by trips to displaced and vulnerable communities around the globe.
‘I was deeply affected by a visit to the Calais Jungle in 2016 and wanted to help in some way. I returned after the Jungle had been razed to the ground and found colouring pencils in the soil where the school had once stood. I gathered them up and contacted well known contemporary artists and asked them to make original works of art using the pencils, which would be auctioned for charity. Once a couple of artists signed up to the project, more came on board and the project went from there. I organised an exhibition called Multicolour with these original works of art at Cork Street Galleries and held an auction at Christie's. It was a success and I was able to donate the proceeds to our charity partners - RefuAid, Refugee Committee Kitchen, and The Lotus Flower’ - Simon Butler, Founder of Migrate Art.
