Let’s kickstart the next phase of the Collective’s projects by funding three massive group shows, five years of online expenses and sixty exclusive artist interviews!
The beinArt Surreal Art Collective has had a strong online presence for more than a decade. Jon Beinart has remained at the helm but as the publishing arm (the financial lifeline of the project) winds up, the future sustainability of the Collective is in jeopardy. Without fundraising, Jon will be forced to terminate the project.
Jon is incredibly passionate about this community and hopes that this Kickstarter campaign will allow him to continue this work. The artists of the beinArt Collective have rallied together and contributed an extraordinarily long list of rewards for backers, including original artworks, limited-edition prints and books! These generous, heavily discounted deals will only be available for the duration of the campaign. We hope to have your support!
$40 AUD ($28 USD) - WE WILL PROMOTE YOUR ART!We will post your art (or flier) with your name, news and link on the beinArt Collective Facebook page (over 510,000 likes). This reward can be added to other rewards by adding $40 AUD to the total pledge and notifying us via email. This deal will only be available during this campaign.

MEMORIES - some are from 3 Years earlier celebrating his birthday at the Cafe Palffy, downstairs from our studios at the Palais Palffy, also the home of the Phantastenmuseum Wien.
Ernst Fuchs, Bella Volen and I were studio neighbors at the Palais Palffy - here we are in Bella's studio with German artist and mutual friend Siegfried Zademack
at the studio
again, at the birthday party in the Cafe Palffy with a young friend of the family
he was always writing in his journal ...... one day I had purchased a "Augustin"
(Boulevard paper), he began drawing in the margins of it.
He even signed it. When he was done I took the paper and saved it.
Happy birthday, Ernst! The stick-pin paintbrush was one of the birthday treats he got that day.
Here he is studying my drawing of "The Beast Of Babylon", on display at the Phantasten Museum.
The sun glasses were not just a fashion statement: he didn't like to get flashed,
so whenever there were photographers around he would don the glasses.
these photos quickly gathered from my files - I collected (and took many myself)

OK, here is a conversation I was having just at this moment on the Ning Facebook page: The entire platform is down across the board, and get this: their support and their help e.mail is all on that platform! There is no way you can reach them, there are no updates on either their Facebook page or their Twitter account. Of course our Visionary Art Network is affected by this - the public pages depend on the feeds from the private network we have on the Ning platform!
