The Unbound Art Show Raises $60,000!

Thank you to everyone who joined us at the National Art School on Thursday 20 March for the Barnardos Unbound Art Show! This event brought together over 170 guests for a memorable evening showcasing 43 unique art pieces all in support for children and young people facing homelessness.

Earlier in the day, children from the Bundaleer Community Centre had the opportunity to give a special preview of the exhibition. Attendees also experienced the premiere of a short film the children co-created with Ed U Play Illawarra. This was followed by a Q + A opportunity with the audience to the children.

Among the art viewing, we had Taylor Gleeson share a powerful story about two young people supported through Barnardos Streetwork program – her inspiring reflection on resilience, hope and transformation inspired the guests to bid generously to a worthy cause.

We’re so proud to share that the silent auction raised an incredible $60,000 – all of which will go directly towards our Streetwork program.

A special thank you and moment of appreciation to our newest Corporate Partner, The Giving Movement (TGM), for sponsoring the ‘VIP ticket experience’. Guests who purchased VIP tickets received a gift including a TGM Tote Bag, a $50 TGM voucher and exclusive early access to view the artwork before general admission. We are incredibly grateful for the generous support and partnership.

Thank you to all who made The Unbound Art Show a success – and we are looking forward to seeing you there next year!
