Current projects
Our projects helps to overcome the challenges of displaced artists, and particularly those who are new to the area, face when trying to make a living from their creative work.
Creative Spark Time
We run weekly art and well-being workshops for the displaced
community, inviting those who want to explore creativity, socialize, and improve their
mental well-being in a fun environment. In collaboration with LifeWithArt charity,
participants not only learn new artistic skills but also build relationships and networks
that enhance their sense of belonging and overall well-being.
Artists Circles
These are held in collaboration with the National Galleries of Scotland
providing a supportive environment where displaced creatives can explore various ways
to enhance their careers and develop their artistic profiles in Scotland.
Artists Kitchen
Abandoned Artists CIC has achieved significant milestones in its first year, including the
establishment of Artists Kitchen, a fully functional artist sharedstudio space for displaced creatives.
