UNBOUND14! FUNDRAISING GALA 2025

Can't make the party in person? Support the artists by giving to the UnBound! Fund!

HOW YOUR DOLLARS DIRECTLY SUPPORT ARTISTS:

Our beloved UnBound! exhibition not only offers a free submission process to all who apply, but it provides an additional collection opportunity for select artists from the exhibition. With the profits from our fundraising gala plus funds raised over the course of the exhibition, we choose works to acquire for the growing Candela Collection. The artist makes their cut of the sale, and we use our “cut” to instead acquire more pieces. These artists get paid and go into the Collection, which will one day be donated to the permanent collection of a notable institution.

A LUCKY THIRTEEN.
Our goal for the thirteenth year of UnBound! is to raise $13000 to support this year’s artists.

Ways you can support artists during UnBound!:

• Come see the exhibition, invite your friends, and talk about it on the internet.

• Purchase a piece for your personal collection and directly support an artist in the exhibition.

• Give to the UnBound! Fund so that artists can go into a permanent collection and get paid.

How do I give to the UnBound! Fund?

• Buy featured merchandise; the profits will go to the fund

• Purchase a ticket or a sponsorship level for the annual gala

• Get “party tickets” during the gala so you can participate in games, raffles, and special perks during the festivities.

• Give directly through this link on our site.

Stay tuned for more exciting exhibition and gala updates, but in the meantime, save this date and grab your tickets!
