Migrate

Migrate Art is a social enterprise that raises money through contemporary art to help those affected

We have worked with some of the biggest names in contemporary art, including Antony Gormley, Julian Opie and Christie’s. Since forming in 2016 we have raised over hundreds of thousands of pounds to help individuals and communities who have been displaced by war. In an industry full of red tape and bureaucracy, we aim to keep things simple- raise money and donate it to groups who can use it most ef

fectively and help those most in need.

Migrate has four key charity partners, whose work we believe in fully. They are Refu-Aid, The Lotus Flower, Refugee Community Kitchen and The Worldwide Tribe.

Alfie Cane’s ‘Pink Cliffs’ (2023) is currently being shown as part of X Collection 404: When Landscapes Draw Near at the X Museum in Beijing, China. The exhibition brings together over 40 contemporary artists working across painting, sculpture and photography, and runs until 16 August 2026.

Cane’s painting ‘Pink Cliff’s was made as part of Migrate Art’s project ‘From the Ashes’ in 2023. Migrate Art worked with Indigenous Xingu communities in the Amazon who had been deeply affected by deforestation and climate change. With permission from the local communities, ashes were collected from the burnt areas of the Amazon Rainforest and returned to London where artist’s kits were manufactured the ash and charcoal to create paint, ink, pigment and pastels.

In collaboration with Migrate Art, Alfie Cane, along with over thirty contemporary artists, created works made from these materials. All pieces were sold at auction at Christie’s with funds donated back to the Xingu community.

Chantal Joffe, Anna Freud (2019)

Created as part of Migrate Art’s Multicolour project, this work is one of over 30 artworks made using pencils salvaged from the Calais refugee camp - once home to around 10,000 people seeking safety.

Artists were invited to respond to these materials, with the resulting exhibition at Cork Street Galleries raising £121,000 at auction to support those affected by the global refugee crisis.

“I chose to depict Anna Freud because she too was a migrant in search of a safe place - and she contributed so much to life in the UK.” - Chantal Joffe

Loie Hollowell’s new exhibition Overview Effect is now open at Pace London — a powerful continuation of her exploration of the body, sexuality and spiritual form.

Known for her luminous, sculptural paintings, Hollowell creates works that feel both deeply intimate and universally resonant, balancing abstraction with a distinctly physical presence.

This latest presentation brings together new works that push her visual language further, with richly layered surfaces and a heightened sense of rhythm, colour and form.

Downstairs, a series of drawings and studies spanning the past ten years of Hollowell’s career are on view, including a work that appears to be a preliminary sketch for Red Earth — the beautiful piece she generously donated to Migrate Art in 2020.

If you’re in London, this is not one to miss.
