Unbound Visual Arts
About
Unbound Visual Arts is a Brighton nonprofit gallery that presents contemporary art engaging with social, political and environmental questions. Founded in 2012, it primarily showcases Boston-based artists, musicians and creators, treating exhibitions as educational tools, aesthetic experiments and prompts for social engagement. Past shows have examined environmental sustainability, health and wellness, and the structures of gender and race, and all exhibits are mounted at its own gallery space in Brighton.
The program mixes solo and group exhibitions, guest-curated shows and student work, including an exhibition by Brighton High School. Each year the organization hosts a six- to eight-week studio residency that gives an artist a stipend, documentation and use of the gallery as a studio, ending in a public presentation of finished and in-progress work. Unbound also organizes performances such as music and sound art as part of its aim to strengthen Boston’s creative ecosystem.
