Support UNB11 + The Candela Collection
This summer marks the ELEVENTH UnBound!, our annual juried & invitational exhibition, featuring a wide range of photographic artworks, fine art photography, and artist books. All funds raised will go directly to supporting participating artists.
We work hard to keep fees off of the submission process. Our hope is that photographers will support our UnBound! exhibition with a contribution in lieu of a submission fee and their active participation just as we hope to support their work and careers in return.
This years’ ELEVENTH edition will be on view July 1st - August 6th, 2022.
Candela Gallery is excited to announce the open call for our tenth annual UnBound! Exhibition! UnBound10! will be on display in person and online at Candela Gallery, from July 2 - August 7, 2021. Featured works will also be included in a printed catalog published by Candela Books.
This summer group exhibition is our annual open call and is dedicated to featuring a wide range of photographic artworks, fine art photography and artist books from 40-50 fine art photographers. We are proud of UnBound's mission to generate opportunities and exposure beyond the traditional group or juried show by providing a collection opportunity for artists.
In a normal non-covid moment, we host an annual gala event. During the exhibition, all funds raised through ticket sales and raffle items, allow Candela to purchase select works from the exhibition. Works acquired by the event proceeds are then added to the gallery's Candela Collection. The mission of the Candela Collection is to support UnBound! artists through the purchase of works from the exhibition and to actively pursue opportunities to donate said works to notable permanent collections. The Candela Collection currently includes 90 photographic artworks and artist books.
