The Unbound art show

Barnardos Australia is proud to present our annual fundraising art show – the Unbound Art Show. This year’s exhibition theme, ‘Horizons of Hope’ embodies Barnardos passion to provide support in the present so that together, we can shape a brighter future for children, young people and families without a place to call home. The theme reflects our commitment to create a lasting impact that opens the door to limitless potential.  Hosted on Thursday 20th of March at the National Art School in Sydney, this multi-disciplinary art show provides the opportunity for emerging and established artists to create a piece of artwork that reflects the theme.

All proceeds will be dedicated to Barnardos Australia safety and prevention programs.

If you can’t make the event, all artwork will be available via our online auction site where you can bid from anywhere in Australia.

You can keep up to date by following our Instagram @theunboundartshow or visit our website for updates.

Interested?! We invite you to join us for this special evening filled with art, creativity, live music and community support. By attending the Unbound Art Show this year, you’ll not only experience a stunning display of talent and perhaps purchase a new piece, but also contribute to a brighter future for children, young people and families in need.

Tickets are now available! So don’t miss out for your chance to be part of this wonderful event, click here to secure a spot and help us make a lasting impact!

We look forward to seeing you on March 20th !

WHAT WE SEE

We see beyond the sleepover in cars and understand the underlying issues.

After escaping family violence, a parent and their child have nowhere safe to stay and are
currently waiting for refuge accommodation.
