Migrate Art


‘It Depends on What Direction You Look In’ in production at the Atelier JI studios for Migrate Art and Jules de Balincourt

Migrate is a pioneering arts organisation that harnesses the power of creativity to help the world's most vulnerable communities. Born in 2016 from a desire to help those affected by the global migrant crisis using their years of experience working in the contemporary art world, they have since raised over £1.6 million and expanded their work to help displaced, indigenous, and homeless communities.

Atelier JI has been a proud Migrate Art collaborator since 2020, when we began work on the Scorched Earth project editions, and since then have collaborated on further projects to raise funds for humanitarian causes worldwide.
