Contribution for the 2023 Candela Collection purchases from UnBound13!
Thanks!
A PERMANENT COLLECTION OPPORTUNITY
One of the most unique and important things we do in this exhibition is raise money to purchase works for a growing collection, which will one day be donated to the permanent collection of a notable photographic or academic institution. The Candela Collection has existed since the first UnBound! exhibition, and currently houses 107 photographic works and artist books. This means that over the course of the past 12 years, UnBound! has supported around 100 artists through the acquisition of their works.
Over the course of the exhibition, we raise money for the UnBound! Fund through special events and merchandise sales. At the culmination of the exhibition, we use these funds to acquire select UnBound! works for the Candela Collection. Funds for the collection have twice the buying power, since we do not take our typical cut from the sale of the artwork, increasing our impact.
SUPPORTING ALL ARTISTS
We love that we’ve been able to support so many artists through Candela Collection acquisitions. This year, we want to extend the love to all of the participating artists, using a portion of the proceeds to cover expenses regarding shipping, presentation, and travel as needed.
This exhibition supports photographers through exposure, but most importantly through collecting. If you purchase a piece, you are adding to your personal collection; if you give to the UnBound! Fund, you are allowing an artist to be acquired for a permanent collection, or helping to cover exhibition expenses. No matter what, your funds go directly towards supporting an artist in the exhibition.
For our thirteenth year, we hope to raise $13,000.
Want to pay it forward? For friends and artists who’ve previously felt the UnBound! love, we encourage you to contribute to this year’s UnBound! Fund. Help artists make money and go into permanent collections!
