Time Out says

If you’re ready to zhuzh up your walls with a piece of real artwork, you’ve now got all the more reason to take that big step. The Barnardos Unbound Art Show returns to Sydney with works from emerging and established artists to raise money for a good cause.

This year, the mixed-media art show is expanding with a free two-week long public exhibition for the first time. Taking over The Garden Gallery at the Botanic Gardens from February 13 to 24, you can catch an up-close look at all the donated pieces including sculpture, photography, paintings and printworks.

If you’re hoping to get your hands on an exclusive local artwork, the online auction is currently underway with bidding closing at 9pm on February 12. In line with the theme of Place to Belong, all the works donated tell a story of belonging with artists such as Antoinette Ferwerda, George Hall, Ken Done, Leah Thiessen and Vicki Lee contributing pieces. 

The funds raised will go towards Barnardos’ safety and prevention programs, which are committed to improving the wellbeing of children in need and creating a better future for them. 

To make a bid in the auction you can find the full line-up here, or for more info on the exhibition head here
