Artist Adam Scott Miller put together a concept trailer for a TV series about Visionary Art that is currently being worked on under the auspices of Visionary Art Australia. Instrumental in getting the project from the drafting table to reality was fellow artist Bonny Hut.

Initially conceptualized for community TV, it is supposed to be also aired on Australian network TV ABC. Plans are also to later expand it globally and include international artists.

This year's group of international students (mostly from Canada and the U.S.A) have out-done themselves, exploring phantastic and sacred themes in their works while celebrating the Academy's ideals of beauty, craftsmanship and style. Together, these meticulously rendered paintings by Elizabeth Banker, Martin Cash, Kevin Campeau, Dominique Hurley, Rachel Lubeck, Julianna Richey and Hadley Seymore form a stunning example of a new, Idealist art – an exhibition not to be missed, with many of the original works priced for sale. The Opening will include Live Painting and Collaboration by the exhibiting artists. 

For three trimesters, these emerging artists have explored Old Masters drawing and painting techniques through classical academic methods. Guided by an international faculty of well-known Visionary artists, they have explored three distinct traditions: The Humanist Style within the 'Western’ Canon of Classical Greek & Renaissance Art, The Hieratic Style within the ‘Eastern’ Canon of Ancient, Islamic & Hindu-Buddhist Art, and the newly emerging Visionary Style, which carefully combines the best elements of the Humanist & Hieratic traditions. Coming from Australia, America, London, Paris and Vienna, members of the academy's faculty will also be on hand to exhibit their works: Timea Tallian, David Heskin, Aloria Weaver, Daniel Mirante, Kuba Ambrose, Vera Atlantia, Amanda Sage, and Laurence Caruana. The result is a masterful collection of paintings where each work manifests the artist’s unique vision while also pursuing the Academy’s ideal of “AD SACRUM” ~ Toward the Sacred.

Located in the Palais Palffy - home of The Phantasten Museum, Viva Art Gallery, and Professor Ernst Fuchs Studio - The Vienna Academy of Visionary Art opened its doors in September 2013. With English as its primary language of instruction, this international private school was founded by The Visionary Guild, a circle of recognized Visionary artists who had learned the “Mischtechnik” (an egg tempera and oil glazing technique) with Professor Ernst Fuchs - and who are now transmitting their knowledge of this special technique to a new generation of talented artists. The Academy offers a Three-year Programme, as well as Single Trimester studies, week-long Intensives and bi-weekly Life Drawing classes open to the public. Their classical curriculum focuses primarily on Historical Techniques of Painting and Approaches to the Figure, Colour and Composition within both Eastern and Western cultural traditions. By learning the sacred styles of different cultures, the students are able to create original compositions based on their own ideas, visions, and designs. 

As Guest Lecturers, local Viennese artists such as De Es, Michael Fuchs, Peter Gric and Otto Rapp have revealed a distinctly Austrian dimension to the students’ European experience of art-making in a cultural capital. Now in its seventh year, the academy's special summer programme in Italy - The Visions in the Mischtechnik Seminar - has further enhanced the students' classical knowledge of art and technique.

After the culmination of this exciting inaugural year, the Vienna Academy of Visionary Art will again open its doors on September 21st with an Opening Party, before classes recommence for the Fall Trimester with instructors Laurence Caruana, Autumn Skye Morrison and Daniel Mirante. With no entrance examinations, the academy is open to all lovers of the newly-emerging trend in world culture called Visionary Art.

Built from 1898 to 1901 as the house of watercolour painter Alfredo Roque Gameiro and his family, this house has an architectural style influenced by Nationalist ideals shared by both intellectuals and politicians of the 90’s generation of the 19th century. The initial project was conceived by Roque Gameiro himself, but architect Raul Lino changed it later. The inside of the main floor is covered by pattern tiles and decorated with small ornaments of colourful tiles at the end of doors and windows. In the dinig room, you will see tiles painted by Bordalo Pinheiro depicting bunches of grapes and ear corns. You can visit the living rooms of Roque Gameiro family, profusely decorated with tiles, as well as temporary exhibits in the two inferior floors of the building.

Dauer der Ausstellung:

Das Kulturzentrum HERRENHOF zeigt in diesem Jahr die 5. internationale Ausstellung „art-imaginär 2013“ mit 53 Künstlerinnen und Künstlern aus 7 Ländern. Das Spannende an diesen Ausstellungen sind die Werke 
von Künstlern, die uns ihre inneren Weltbilder offenbaren. Künstler, die sich von ihrer Phantasie in subjektive Paradiese treiben lassen oder deren Phantasie Ungeheuer gebiert.

Die Ausstellung wird von zwei Sonderausstellungen ergänzt mit Werken von Hermann Hoormann und Prof. Helmut Göring und wir erinnern an den 65. Geburtstag von Werner Holz.

Sonderausstellung im Renaissance-Bau (Getreidekasten)

Hermann Hoormann ein Phantast aus der Pfalz wird 80 Jahre. Hermann Hoormann wurde 1933 in Meppen/Ems geboren, studierte Kunsterziehung, Deutsch, Philosophie und Pädagogik in Mainz und war danach Kunsterzieher, Maler und Grafiker in Bolanden/Pfalz.
Hoormanns Bilderwelt zeigt ein permanentes, manieristisches Spiel von Visionen, die sich zum Teil überlagern und in Metamorphosen übergehen. Die Realität verwandelt sich ins Groteske und wird symbolisch. Seine Vorliebe liegt bei der Kunst des Mittelalters und der Frührenaissance.

Prof. Helmut Göring (1917-2013) 1917 in Zweibrücken geboren und lebte in Kaiserslautern und Neustadt. Nach einer Lehre als Theatermaler war er amBadischen Staatstheater in Karlsruhe tätig. 
1938 bis 1946 Soldat und russische Gefangenschaft. Danach Kunststudium in Saarbrücken und Assistent bei Karl Kunz. Seit 1949 Lehrer an der Werkkunstschule Kaiserslautern. 1967 erhielt der Künstler den Pfalzpreis. Helmut Göring war Lehrer vieler pfälzischer Künstler.

Werner Holz (1948-1991) 1948 in Grünstadt/Pfalz geboren. Buchbinderlehre, FHFMainz, Grafische Akad. München, Assistent an der Freien Akad. Mannheim. Holz lebte als freischaffender Maler in Frankenthal und Herxheim am Berg. Seine Malerei wurde durch die Werke von Hieronymus Bosch und Pieter Bruegel der Ältere inspiriert. Er selbst sah sich in der Tradition einer allgemeineren, sich durch viele Jahrhunderte ziehenden „Malerei des Phantastischen“.
