Donate your leftover currency to Collective

Collective is a free contemporary art space that brings creative new perspectives to the city of Edinburgh

Situated in a heritage observatory, Collective develops and presents world-class exhibitions, events, workshops and discussions from ground-breaking local and international artists.

The organisation runs artist-led activities for young people, as well as the sector-leading development programme for emerging creative practitioners, Satellites.

Founded in 1984 as an artist-run initiative, Collective now runs from their home on Edinburgh’s iconic Calton Hill.

Money raised will support the charity’s work with artists and the maintenance of their incredible historic buildings.

It is easy to donate your leftover currency to Collective. To get started, download and fill out the Collective exchange form.
