Conventional wisdom in Eugene art circles says: No one buys art here. What few collectors there are living in Eugene head out of town - to Portland, Seattle, San Francisco or Los Angeles - when they want to spend serious money on art, or so the story goes.
Well, the conventional wisdom has fallen ill in the past few months with a flurry of high-ticket sales at downtown Eugene galleries.
At Fenario Gallery, a buyer paid $45,000 for a painting by internationally-known Visionary artist, Robert Venosa, a painter with studios in Boulder, Colorado, and Cadaques, Spain.
"I think we're finally growing up," said Mary Unruh, executive director of DIVA. "We really brought some people in from out of the woodwork. There are people here who love art who have just assumed there was nothing in Eugene. And they are coming through our doors now and saying, 'Oh, this is impressive.'
Brent Rosskopf, owner of Fenario Gallery, echoed Unruh's sentiment. There are serious art buyers in Eugene, he said. The challenge is for local galleries to find and connect with them.
"I was kind of stuck in a rut for a long time thinking the money doesn't exist here to support the kind of work many of us are showing," he said. "I do think it lies in a much smaller demographic than any other place, but it's here. It just needs to be reached." A private collector in Eugene bought the $45,000 Venosa painting, Rosskopf said."He has collected Venosa for quite a while and has bought many prints from me. The painting just resonated with him."

Hi Everyone. It's been months since our last newsletter and we have some exciting news to announce.

Metamorphosis 2 (our second book) is in the making and will feature another 50 Artists (with no repeats from Volume 1). All 50 artists have been selected, but at this stage 48 have been confirmed. They are as follows:
HR Giger, Ron English, Michael Hussar, Paul Booth, Joseph Seigenthaler, Chris Mars, Heidi Taillefer, Shawn Barber, David Stoupakis, Heather Nevay, Jeremy Geddes, Terrance Lindall, Sarina Brewer, Jessica Joslin, Ivan Titor, James Zar, Scott G Brooks, David M Bowers, Madeline von Foerster, Travis A Louie, Christian Rex van Minnen, Suzzan Blac, Amanda Sage, Nathan Spoor, Peter Marcek, Mike Worrall, Satoshi Sakamoto, Richard Moore, Nelly Chichlakova, Vladimir Ovtcharov, Daniela Ovtcharov, Joep Hommerson, Hikaru, Martin-Georg Oscity, Jason Jacenko, Ben Tolman, Beau White, Pavel Zacek, Dariusz Zawadzki, Dmitry Vorsin, Bruno di Maio, Luigi La Speranza, Aleksander Balos, Damian Michaels, Greg Craola Simkins, Tino Rodriguez, Joe Vaux & Tiffany Bozic

Metamorphosis 1 (our first book) has been picked up by Tower Books distribution and is available in book shops across Australia. We are looking into International distribution, but for now people who live outside of Australia can order Metamorphosis from our online shop. Book sales have been going so well that it looks like we could run out of the first edition soon. We have also collected many photos of featured artists with their contributors copies which can be viewed on our Metamorphosis forum thread. Many reviews of Metamorphosis have also been published on our forum.

We also have over 80 new featured artists to add to the beinArt.org Surreal Art Collective. Keep checking our Paintings, Drawings, Sculpture & Digital Art sections over the coming weeks for new artists. This will bring our total number of featured artists to well over 350. Check out the Artist News section in our blog for upcoming exhibitions, publications and news from our featured artists.

We recently opened a YouTube account dedicated to International Surreal & Stop-Motion Animation. At this stage we have 31 short animated films featured on our channel and many more to come.
Thank you all for your continued support and for keeping the spirit of Contemporary Surreal & Fantastic art alive.

Dear Artists,
Its been a long three year hiatus. We are now open, and want to showcase our membership. The
opening date for the 2008 WASH Salon is Saturday, January 19 and ends on Sunday, February 24, in
our second floor gallery. We have placed an advertisement in the Gallery Guide and M magazine to generate interest and support our
membership. Please log on to our website www.wahcenter.net down-load the application and mail it with your membership fee of $50.

Please note that if you have already sent in your 2008 fee, it is still necessary to complete a new application form so that we can update our records. The deadline for submission is December
14th, in order to print your names on the announcement card. Our website is being updated as well. Please e-mail four images of your new work to our webmaster, orin@buckart.com, so
that we can promote the exhibition on line. We are always interested in recruiting new artists. Let your friends know about the art club. They still have
time to participate in this showcase. I would very much appreciate help in installing the exhibit on Friday, January 18th, at 6pm. It is an evening of a little hard work and a good way to get to know each other. I also need members to gallery sit on a Saturday or Sunday during the run of the show.
Please contact me and tell me what you can
do to help.We look forward to showing your new
work and reconnecting. Let’s start 2008 with an exciting exhibition.

Best regards,
Carol Quint
