The Wild Bloom

The Wild Bloom is an immersive event series that transforms Union Hall’s gallery into a dynamic stage for interdisciplinary, boundary-pushing work and invites audiences into participatory, socially engaged performances. Developed in 2026, Union Hall will expand its investment in emerging performance artists by providing dedicated rehearsal space each May, stipends to develop new original works, and mentorship and curatorial guidance throughout the creative process.

The Wild Bloom 2026 was generously supported by Meow Wolf Denver and Holland & Hart.

We’re supporting the artists, curators, and world builders who make our programs possible through a Cultivation Fund.

Union Hall works to cultivate the next generation of artists and curators through three programs — Rough Gems mentorship, The Wild Bloom performances, and innovative exhibitions — that create paid opportunities, professional development, and space for experimentation. Your contribution supports the artists, curators, and world builders who make these public programs possible and empowers emerging creatives share their ideas with the world.
