Love Without Borders: Refugee Art Show

Description

Come peruse original paintings by artists of all ages, who are currently refugees in Greece, fleeing war-torn countries throughout the Middle East and Africa.

Learn more about the refugee crisis with an 8pm talk from Founding Director, Kayra Martinez. Enjoy live music by cellist Jaír Griffin plus drinks and refreshments while viewing the art and reading the artists’ stories.

About the musician: Jaír Griffin is an artist native to Atlanta, Georgia. He attended Kennesaw State University, majoring in music and minoring in philosophy. When he isn't practicing his cello, he's exploring all of his other creative passions, such as photography, painting, and even jewelry-making. He is a lover of life and wishes for all of his fellow humans to enjoy their limited time on this beautiful planet.

All paintings are for sale. 100% of the revenue goes directly to each refugee artist.

This pop-up art gallery will be available for additional viewings November 16 - 29, 2026. To set up an appointment, email

We empower refugees to use art as a means of self-expression and a tool for economic independence.

In addition to supporting refugees, we strive to educate the public about the struggles refugees face; to humanize the refugee experience; and to generate compassion and support for all people in this world.
