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!

Of particular interest to artists:

$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.

this is a article in the German language magazine  Morgen (Kulturzeitschrift aus Niederösterreich) written by Verena Kienast

Auf den ersten Blick haben sie denkbar wenig gemein, die Werke der barocken Meister und die Jahrhunderte später ent­standenen Arbeiten eines Rudolf Hausner, eines Ernst Fuchs oder eines Arik Brauer. Auf den zweiten Blick hingegen stellen die Üppigkeit von Phantasie und Formen und die geradezu traumhafte Verkettung von Objekten und Ereignis­sen durchaus verbindende Gemeinsamkeiten zwischen den zwei Kunstrichtungen aus zeitlich recht weit voneinander entfernten Epochen der europäischen Kulturgeschichte dar. Und so gehen auch die Werke phantastischer Kunst der vergangenen Jahrzehnte in ihren unter­schiedlichen Ausprägungen mit dem barocken Umfeld von Schloss Riegersburg im Waldviertel eine reizvolle, spannende Symbiose ein.
