ARTS UNBOUND

Celebrating Arts & Culture Beyond Limits

is an innovative and inclusive talent show that will highlight performances from incredible artists who live with a developmental disability and have overcome obstacles to become talented musicians, dancers, and singers. This inspiring initiative, presented by Music Niagara in partnership with Community Living Grimsby, Lincoln, and West Lincoln, aligns with Music Niagara’s mission to connect and inspire communities through world-class, diverse music experiences.

Scheduled for October 5, 2025, at the FirstOntario Performing Arts Centre in St. Catharines, Arts Unbound will feature 10 outstanding performances, showcasing their exceptional talents on a professional stage.

Arts Unbound goes beyond being a performance — it’s a movement to enhance inclusion, equality and representation of artists living with developmental disabilities. By spotlighting the talents of these often-underrepresented artists, the event challenges perceptions, inspires audiences, and fosters a deeper understanding of what people can achieve through passion and perseverance. The show aims to leave a lasting impact by celebrating diversity and showcasing how creativity knows no limits.

With the support of key partners and funders, Arts Unbound aims to become an annual event, amplifying diverse voices and promoting equity in the arts. Through meaningful professional exposure, audience engagement, and collaboration, Arts Unbound will leave a lasting impact on the cultural fabric of the Niagara region and beyond.
