Mission

[edit]

UNRULY Collective provides an accessible, imaginative environment promoting growth and collaboration across all artistic fields. Our events are inviting and inspiring, open to all walks of life to indulge in the creation and consumption of art with no judgment or restrictions. UNRULY strives to continuously create opportunities for artists and patrons to thrive, develop, and explore creativity through community and collaboration. Founder Hillary Huntington-Mẽgroz said about her motivation to create UNRULY "I wanted to have a place where I can create, and also other artists can come and create, and show their work," she told Bushwick Daily. "It's hard to get into a gallery if you're not an established artists, and galleries in general just felt very impersonal to me, especially in the Lower East Side."[3]
