Horizons of Hope
Barnardos 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. It reflects our commitment, especially in these challenging times, to creating a lasting impact that opens the door to a limitless potential for those we support. Buy ticketsRaising money for vulnerable children
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 so you can bid from anywhere in Australia. Be there first to know when the online auction goes live.
Together, we can turn creativity into a lifeline for those in need.
Join us and over 40 emerging and established artists for a night you won't want to miss
Fearlessly Optimistic 2024
Check out last year’s event, our inaugural art show Fearlessly Optimistic.
Our inaugural Fearlessly Optimistic art show was a resounding success, bringing together over 140 attendees to celebrate creativity and compassion. We are so grateful to our guests, volunteers, suppliers, and to the 40+ talented exhibitors who generously donated exceptional artworks to support such a meaningful cause. Thanks to their contributions, the event made a significant impact on the lives of children and young people.
