We at Unbound Visual Arts  (UVA) want to thank you for your unrelenting generosity as an active patron of the arts and to local artists in our community.  

Since the beginning of this year, it's hard to believe just how much we have already accomplished so far, with so many more exciting and innovative projects to come, all of which could not be made possible without your involvement and support.  Since January, we have organized another fun and well-attended Mardi Gras party, received recognition for participating in Brookline Open Art Studios, curated two successful artist talks and exhibitions that garnered over 500 attendees, and saw an increase in art sales through our redeveloped website.

We hope to be able to continue supporting our members in providing more opportunities to showcase their work and to offer more fun, informative events that expose the public to different areas of fine art -- from abstract painting and photography, to contemporary designs in prints and sculpture. 

What distinguishes UVA from so many other similar organizations in the area is our membership, which is comprised of diverse artists who encompass a vast array of original styles and art forms, who all come from different walks of life and have a particular story to tell through their artwork.  UVA is all too eager to share this special growing collection of art throughout greater Boston, where we hope to engage everyone and deepen their knowledge and understanding of visual arts and its impact on cultural development, to spread joy and beauty to areas in need, and to promote creativity and invention by inciting new thoughts, ideas, and experiences with exhibitions and conversations with local artists. 

Whether it's adding visual appeal to a local cafe, providing a unique decorative element in a home, or serving as a conversation piece in the workplace, we believe each of the original works our artists produce has a place and purpose that offers meaning and inspiration to someone. We hope you feel the same way and continue sponsoring our efforts in encouraging artists to continue creating art that enhances the quality of life and uplifts the spirits of our community members.

Your donation of $10, $25, $50, $100 or whatever amount works best for you can help us continue curating more art exhibitions and  artwork that would be widely accessible to the public. Donations of $40 ($20 for 65+ and students) count toward your UVA membership too. 

We are truly grateful for people like you who want to see our artistic community thrive and bring fine arts to our public spaces, local businesses, and homes.  We thank you for all your support and hope to see you at more of our upcoming events and programs this year!
