Unbound Visual Arts highlights Greater Boston artists through exhibits and programs that foster community engagement and social change through innovative curatorial strategies.
Since our founding in 2012, we’ve focused on presenting contemporary art that critically engages with our present moment – believing that art has the potential to interrogate social norms, redefine perspectives, and transmit new ideas. All of our exhibits are presented at our gallery in Brighton, MA.
