The Unbound
Art Show
Thank you to those who attended our annual fundraising art show at The National Art School. If you missed it but would like to support youth homelessness, you can still make a lasting impact.
Thank you
We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you for your incredible support at our Horizons of Hope art show. It was an unforgettable evening filled with creativity, inspiration and joy. With over 40 donated pieces of art and over 170 people in attendance, the evening made a meaningful impact to the lives of children and young people facing homelessness. Thank you to our amazing artists, suppliers, volunteers and guests for making this night so special!Thank you to our event supporters
Flowers Across Sydney provided the beautiful florals for our flower wall which meant every guest went home with their own bunch accompanied by a message of hope. The Giving Movement provided attendees with the opportunity to have exclusive early access and continue to support Barnardos by donating $4 from every item sold in their Australian stores.
Raising money for children in need
Through art and the dedication of our local community, we strive for a future where children reach adulthood with ambitions beyond simply finding a roof over their heads and food to eat.
All proceeds will go to Barnardos Australia’s safety and prevention programs. With a growing number of young people at risk of becoming homeless due to family violence and abuse, Barnardos is working towards a future where every young person is safe and secure.
Can’t make the show? All artworks will be available via our online auction site here so you can bid from anywhere in Australia. Together, we can turn creativity into a lifeline for those in need.
