Andrejsala is a area located in the Pētersala-Andrejsala neighbourhood of Riga, Latvia within a former territory of an industrial port next to the city center. It had the potential to become a significant art, culture and entertainment center with exhibition halls, clubs, workshops, studios, cafe, hotel, but many of those dreams went into disrepair. The plans for future development of the area were in the works as of June, 2007, but as with classic cases of urbanisation, many of the artistic ventures disappeared. Buildings without heritage value in Andrejsala have been demolished one-by-one.
